Graf's is selling 423 Dakota brass and advertising it as the basis for wildcatters' dreams. What would you build on this case?

quote:
SPECIAL PURCHASE! Supplies are limited!
Manufactured by Lapua, these cases feature a ".423 Dakota- Lapua" headstamp.
This is perfect brass for adventurous wildcatters looking for a large case to play with. They're a rimless design, having a .585" head and are 2.475" in length as they arrive at your loading bench. After that, they can be anything you want with a little Imperial and some elbow grease.
This is new, unprimed brass. This is not loaded ammunition.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Well I think given the plethora of boolits available I would go .375". You could load it right up with say some 250-270 grners and have them screaming out, tons of really fast and heavy recoil. It would be a blast to shoot and smack big animals down at a fair range. Or load it down with some big heavy slugs and have a sensible rifle. Easy to neck down too.
