[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 393590, member: 5219"] I considered the 7 Dakota myself. After researching there were several things that kept me from doing it. The case head dimension is larger and will require the enlarging of a standard magnum boltface. The brass is at a minimum $1.60 each. A custom reamer and die set will be required too. An less expensive alternative is necking down the 375 Ruger. Cases are half the price. The bolt face wouldn't have to be altered. Reamer and dies will still be expensive. After weighing all of the extra expenses I made my long barreled heavy 7mm the 7 Rem Mag. Seems like a great deal of effort for another 100-150 fps over the 7 Rem Mag. It is your choice. [/QUOTE]
