[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1513758, member: 30902"] If you are running the same bullets, same length barrel etc no, the Dakota won't quite keep up with the STW and it will always be far more expensive to shoot. You can go faster than the STW. You can move to a non belted magnum that gets close to it but you're not going to beat it in an apples to apples comparison without running a wildcat of some sort or going to a much greater powder charge. It just happens to fall right at the breakpoint of the point of diminishing returns. There have been times when finding properly headstamped brass was an issue but we have enough mfg's out there now producing good quality STW brass it's no longer an issue and when worse comes to worse you can always just neck down 8mm RM with no problem. It looks like Hornady and Nosler are going to give it a good run with each coming out with their own non belted magnum 7's using shorter, fatter cases but they still won't quite get there with the performance.
