    [QUOTE=45SOUTH;105803]No not the 300 Dakota but a new case on the market they landed in NZ today. the Dakota case has a bigger base than the Rum case[/QUOTE

    The 300 dakota base and body dia i reload for is .545.

    Is this new brass easier to get than a standard old 7 mm RUM?
    And whats the brass cost please.

    I don't use a 162 a- max past 3250 fps in a light unbraked rifle, when i find im going to hunt in an area that requires more power, in turn requiring a brake, i reach for the edge.

    Now that we can make 338 edge rifles under 8 pounds all up, with the best brakes on the planet, i use them.

    Will be easier an cost is dependant at monent an its nice brass an more will be coming as the first shipment is all taken

    Can pop the brake on an hunt everything with one rifle or switch to a 180gr berger if you dont want the a-max to fast.

    All round rifles are nice hunting rifles that you get to know an they fit like a glove
