[QUOTE="bigbull, post: 1867525, member: 74097"] Sub, I have owned one for probably 20 years and a 300 Dakota also. I would build it again, brass is available but if you get stuck you could form it from 404 Jeffries or any of the RUM brass, I own both types, since you will be building it in a long action 700 that would be ideal, the magazine will give you plenty of space to play with and provide the most flexibility, when properly hand loaded it will drive a 250 gr bullet to 2800 or more depending on barrel length, bullet and powder and reward you with excellent accuracy and less recoil than the Lapua or the RUM plus you can buy factory ammo if you have to, I have shot a couple of moose with it and used the 250 Hornady SPTZ never found the bullets both lung shot. I would use a 26" barrel for top speeds and good handling, my 300 is a DAkota and my 330 is built on a M70 Classic. BB [/QUOTE]
