[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 338524, member: 11717"] The 7 Dakota is very close the the STW as a ballisitic twin. It has a little shorter and fatter case and will fit most magnum boltfaces - may need to open slightly. The shorter case gives you a lot of COAL flexibility in the long actions. It's a great cartridge but not very prolific since it is proprietary. Dakota advertises 3200 fps with a 160 gr bullet out of a 25" barrel. As far as I know, Dakota is the only place to get brass and they are proud of it. [url=http://www.dakotaarms.com/dakota_cartridges.html]Dakota Arms Cartridges including 7mm Dakota and 300 Dakota[/url] The 7 AM is an improved 338 Lapua case and has a lot more performance than the Dakota. It will also have a shorter barrle life. Always trade offs. Mark [/QUOTE]
