Thread: Dakota calibres

Rebate the brass rim a few thou to fit the std magnum boltface

Shooters been doing it for years

Doesn’t increase bolt thrust as the chamfer makes the brass face smaller than the total dia anyway

Saw a 7mm Dakota take out a trophy Fallow once, made my ears ring, shook the closer trees, created a minor earthquake and scared the f#%k out of every game animal between Cheviot and Kaikoura. The buck ran 80 yards and died, a 6.5 creedless would have done it better.
