I agree that 2300 fps is enough but the Dakota has the advantadge of a considerably lower gas pressure, which might be better in very hot climate like certain parts of Africa (or Australia?). I have heard from a hunter that took a shot at a western savanna buffalo in Benin with his .416 Remington. The bull charged but the action of his Blaser R93 refused to open due to excessive pressure ! The backup from the guide just saved the day.
Of course a Ruger Magnum is more reliable than a R93 but still I would prefer the Dakota.It has no useless belt, and ammo availability is very relative in Africa anyways. Just MHO.

Wicked good hunting !!!
