[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 217569, member: 2736"] There is nothing wrong with the dakota except the brass is hard to find and expensive . The 300 Winchester mag will edge it out in velocity and the RUM or the Lapua will beat it by well over 100 ft/sec. I would think the ease in getting brass,dies and standard mag bolt face actions would make the Win Mag or the RUM a better choice. If you dont mind these things I would recomend the Lapua over the dakota. A while back I checked Into a 416 Dakota and the problems were just not worth the trouble ,(brass was only available from Dakota and they were proud of it,plus as Ol Mike said the boltface would have to be opened up). So I built a 416 based on a 375 RUM and have been very happy with my decision. Good Luck and good hunting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
