[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 63185, member: 10"] CanadianLefty, The 300 Dakota will be a ballistic twin to the like of the 300 Wby, 300 STW, 300 Jarrett. As such from what I have witnessed over actual chronographs with my own eyes!! I would say in a 24" barrel you will be pushing this round pretty hard to get 3225 fps with a 180 gr bullet. In a 26" barrel as you said, it would be a bit more practical but you would be running pressures pretty high to reach this level in a 24" pipe. I would say 3175 fps would be a comfortable max velocity in the Dakota in a 24" barrel which is around 100 to 125 fps faster then a 300 WIn in the same barrel length. Perhaps this was what was causing some extraction problems, 70,000 psi of chamber pressure, hell any case design would get sticky at this level of pressure. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
