7mm Dakota compared to the 28 Nosler

[TGP]

I was wondering what is the real world performance differences between the 7mm Dakota and the 28 Nosler, especially with 180 and 195 grain bullets. They look like the differences should be min.

Performance wise, they are probably just about the same. The Nosler may be able to edge out the Dakota, but not by much. The biggest difference is that you can build the Nosler rounds on any action with a normal magnum bolt face for .532" rim cartridges. The Dakotas must be built in an action having a bolt face large enough to accommodate the larger 404 Jeffrey rim width of .545"

I bet there is about 100-150 fps difference between the 2. Wit the cost of dakota dies I think I'd do the Nosler if I wasn't so invested in the dakota. Dakota brass is now made by hornady and costs about what the nosler brass costs.

That was kind of my mind set, I can get a set of Redding competition dies for about $150, I was thinking about a 7LRM or a Dakota but the Nosler just keeps looking like my best bet.
thanks everybody!
