[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 1190441, member: 6705"] The design never changed, just the brass. It was easier to make the brass starting with the Dakota. The only issue was the larger rim diameter. I was the one who formed the first 338 Sin brass. It was a bit complicated because the brass would buckle when trying to push the shoulder back and go from 30 to 40 degrees at the same time. I modified a set of 338RUM dies and ruined a 300wsm chamber reamer to make it work. He worked on some hydro-forming dies for a while as well but that went away when he started using the Dakota brass. He was also supposed to send me a barrel and dies to do some long range testing, but that never happened either. [/QUOTE]
