[QUOTE="Guest, post: 9373"] I have no personal experience with it, but I do love to play devil's advocate. Here's some benefits for you: <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>More capacity than the WinMag <LI>If seated to same COL, similar performance with less powder (erosion/recoil/cost) than Wby <LI>Can easily use excellent Norma 404 brass[/list]JDJones75, don't give up on that Savage. Get yourself some Normas, lose the Magazine spacer and throat that chamber for 3.6" for those 220g's. If you must rechamber, I'd be really surprised if you couldn't put a RUM Improved in that hole, maybe w/o even turning a thread. And the only reason people aren't winning with the Dakota is because no one shoots it! Nothing inherently inaccurate about it, just odd. That said, sure there are better choices. Seems everyone can find what they need among 308W, 300 WM, 300 RUM, 300-738. [/QUOTE]
