The 33 Nosler case is slightly shortened compared to the 330 Dakota. You'd have to rebarrel the 330 Dakota. I had Hill Country Rifles inspect my 330 Dakota hoping I might be able to rechamber to 33 Nosler or 338 Ultra Mag & they informed me I'd have to rebarrel it. The case head of the 338 Ultra...

Maybe we can get several people together and pitch in on an order if Grafs will do a run....depending on quantity required/cost.

Nosler developed the 33 Nosler as though it was some monumental cartridge development.....but the 330 Dakota has been around for decades doing what the 33 Nosler does in spades. Now there's 33 brass available and the 330 has become mostly obsolete. Don Allen had it right long ago. It's a shame...

Would you mind sharing what your starting powder charge is?

I believe Hendershots is necking up 300 Dakota brass so it won't be properly headstamped, if required. The 330 Dakota brass has gotten ridiculously difficult to find. I placed a backorder through Quality Cartridge 5 years ago & I've never heard anything. If anyone knows a source to obtain more...

Ok. Appreciate your time.

I appreciate your response. I figured the mag capacity is 2 plus 1 in the chamber. Do you have any ammunition to check? It's a nice looking rig.

What is the LOP, overall weight, magazine capacity of the 30-378 Wby? Do you have paperwork from Dakota? Do you have brass, dies or ammo? Any particular loads it shoots well?

I agree that Frank Wells was an excellent gunsmith. For the price it's a helluva buy. As already stated, Hendershots will load up ammo with properly headstamped brass. Superior ammunition is another option, possibly Pendleton's as well. The 416 Taylor, IMO, is highly underrated for the...

Great buy. I've been looking for a rifle to build a 358 Norma. Wish I'd have seen this.

Someone got a great rifle. Glad you got it sold.

It's a helluva rifle. I've got too many irons in the fire to commit. I'd be willing to bet it'll shoot 1/2 MOA or better.

What is the muzzle diameter, before the brake? Weight?

Great rifle. I had the exact rifle in 300 Wby Mag. Absolute tack driver. 7 STW is tempting.

One helluva rifle for $2100
