[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 727895, member: 6330"] Bolt face is different .532 bolt face for H&H based cartridges - .257 Weatherby Magnum; .473 bolt face for -06 based cartridges - .280 Remington or .280 AI. You could rebarrel with a 7mm Remington Magnum or a 7mm Weatherby Magnum barrel (which are both .284 bore diameter just like the .280s). To make your rifle into a .280 or .280AI you would have to replace the bolt and the barrel. That would not be cost effective in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
