Can a rifle currently chambered in 7mm.08 be rechambered to .284 Winchester ? Specs appear that it should work , I however don't know the ins & outs of this process. Thanks in advance! |

Yes.
However, if you want to shoot heavier bullets than the 7mm-08, say heavier than 150 grs, then you will have to deal with a neck almost exactly one caliber in length. Just like the 7mm-08. So, it would be prudent to check your magazine length (bolt action?) and see if you have the room there and in the chamber to keep longer bullets from having to be set back too far into the case body. |

Muzzleflash, as Sensop said yes you can. If longer heavier bullets are a problem the mag box can be altered as well as having the throat cut to the depth you need. George
