Dober:Thanks! The 7mmDakota is coming along.I'm trying to get to a load for 160's. In thinking the whole thing through,I fired the 300 Weatherby yesterday and contemplated taking it to BC in September.But the 7 Dakota is lighter...kicks less...shoots as flat....and I suspect it MIGHT go to BC instead of the Weatherby...loaded with a good 160, I already know the outcome smile

The Dakota is just a modern Mashburn....which is a good thing!

Second in command will be one of the 270's wink

Yes, Warren and Les had it figured out.....
