    7-08mm Barrel Rechambering Question

    Folks, seeking a bit of expert knowledge from the forum. I get a bit lost in the technical side and math (good old dyslexia thing).

    Will a 7x65R reamer clean up a 7-08mm chamber - i.e is it possible to rechamber a single shot barrel from 7-08mm to 7x65Rimmed? Single shot barrel, so no action length, or feeding issues. Same barrel diameter. Purely question of whether the 7x65R reamer will clean up the 7-08mm chamber.

    Case specs are below, my read is yes you can as the 7x65R shoulder is pushed out quite a bit and the case should cut out the 7-08mm shoulder, but the technical aspects of this are not my strong suit. Would be good to get some expert advise!
