[QUOTE="Guest, post: 9374"] Well , having owned several big 30cals to include the 300win mag , 300Wby mag , 300Dakota , 30-338Win mag and a 30-8mm. I don't see any real benifit of the Dakota , for what reasons i don't know but you can't reach the same velocities as the 300Wby mag with the same size case and will barely out preform the 300Win mag in the Velocity race. Of all my big 30's I liked the 30-338 the best , could seat long VLD bullets out far and still feed from the magizine which can't be said for the 30-8mm and 300Wby , the Velocity was great right with the 300Win mag and it was the most consistant round I have fired. Culling all that brass was a pain but it seemed worth it at the time , but now that Lapua makes 300win mag brass that will probably be my next project. As for rechambering , I guess the 300RUM Ai would work , I'll have to look up the specs on that as the shoulders on the 300Dakota are .532 accross. I'm not saying its a bad round just that their are alot other choices that would be easier to work with. But over all my favorite 30 cal is my 30-06Ai it gets the bullets out their fast enough and doesen't cost a small fortune to reload , and its alot easier on the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
