[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 604225, member: 5219"] Rigmaster10: What length barrel are you using? Your reported velocities are very high. I did an extensive search and only the 338/378 Weatherby in some loading manuals list 250 gr bullets moving faster than 3100 fps. I realize the load data is usually done with relatively short barrels but your results seem off the charts. The 338/375 Ruger is very similar to the 330 Dakota. Dakota lists their 250 gr bullet at 2900 fps. Every loading manual I found lists Dakota loads generally running in the 2700-2800 fps range. Sure a 30-32" barrel can add some velocity but 3120 fps????
