[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 89207, member: 8843"] Here is another option you may want to look at if you bent on the 300Dakota case. With the advent of the new great high BC bullets that Kirby is using for the 270AM you could neck the 300 down to 270 and shoot one of the high BC bullets and you would have a 1000yd gun , I would think that you could push a 160gr bullet to 3200-3300 fps with that bore diameter. Just another angle to look at but the 6.5 would make for a great LR gun but from my personal experiance the 140 class match type bullets don't like to be pushed much past 3000fps then the accuracy suffers . But hey if you just have to have one and thats what you want then get after it , like it was mentioned before anything based on the Dakota case will be somehting differant. [/QUOTE]
