I checked that idea out a while back, because I too have a 7x57R. It won't work, because the 7x57R has a wider base than a 7x65R, and the reamer won't clean up the chamber. However, you can rechamber to 7x57R Ackley, and get as much power as the 7x65R with less backthrust.

I haven't gotten around to getting mine done yet, but a gunsmith told me it would work.
