These are home I don't see how the others can be much more accurate than one hole groups buddy. But, I'll wait until those make it here before I decide for sure

Awesome round with lots of history. Coupled with the Dakota rifle, that would just be amazing. Don't toss the Dakotas out of the running. The used ones can be found if you look for reasonable prices and the fit/feel of them is hard to beat. The stock design is like a fine English shotgun and points just as well. AND, I've yet to shoot one that wasn't extremely accurate! Not a great pic but here are my current Dakotas. All of them were sent to KS via NM
those sure are some ugly rifles Glenn! and I really hate to see you burdened with them. if you'd like i'll trade you a brand new, pre owned Ruger American for one.

Ive only owned a couple of Coopers. They are nice guns but they aren't in the the same as the Dakota from the examples I've had. But, they don't cost near as much either. I had one that shot really well and one that my Rugers would blow out of the water accuracy wise. Their wood even when upgraded isn't as nice as the Dakotas always seeming to be very straight grained and the stock design is different. Hard to explain until you shoulder one. Having said that, look around, you may be surprised and find a like new Dakota for the price of a Cooper. Cabelas seems to always have a decent supply of used ones... A trip to your closest Cabelas could at least let you shoulder both possibly and get a better feel of each. Glenn Thanks for the suggestions. You are right, looking at some of the sites such as gunsamerica and cabelas, the used Dakota prices aren't bad. I thought that they would be a lot more expensive. I need to find a Cabelas close to me so that I can try some of them out as you suggested. Thanks again. I had had thought about getting a pre 64 Winchester 70 but the prices on those can be quite a bit. Might be worth just saving that money and putting onto the Dakota.

I have a pre-64 model 70 in 300H&H and after all the handloads I found one of the most accurate rounds were these Nosler 200 grain AccuBond`s. Don`t have the targets but they were always under an inch at 100....

That's the same speed we get in the Rem 700 with Partitions.

Would barrel length make much of a difference in the 300 H&H? I've seen as short as 23" in some of the Dakotas and up to 26" for the M70s.

No more than any other round using slow burning powders. Average would probably be somewhere between 25 and 50 fps per inch of barrel. Mileage will vary.

I have one of the Rem Classic 300H&H guns - shoots the 185 gr Bergers exceptionally well.
