    There is a few 7mm that were built in chch by a mate but the extreme price of the
    Brass has put any new builds off last list price it was more then lapua factory 338 LM brass
    When 338 was $5 each Dakota was $6-7 per case

    I worked on a 7mm Dakota 6 months ago had to solder a bush into the bolt face and recut to suit
    Standard magnum bolt face and ended up changing to 28 nosler

    With bringing new line ups into precision hunter ammunition or
    Bringing back old rounds like the weatherby it has made it harder to justify
    $7 brass when of the shelf stuff does the same thing in a more universal way
    If you get bored with the caliber
    chainsaw and caberslash like this.
