I was getting 3000fps with a 160ab, over 71.5 7828.
Accuracy was .5" with the factory wood stock. I then put it in a fiberglass, and the groups opened to over 1".
Maybe I need to go up higher.
Nyrifleman was kind enough to share some of his loads.
He had good results with RL25.
Thanks again guys for the info.....
You can get that with a 7 Rem Mag.
Keep adding powder until you hit 3200.
3250 is doable, but pushing the envelope. 3200 is easily done in the Dakota.
You may also want to do a search for BobinNH old posts.
He had a Dakota for a while, and his Mashburn loads will work in the Dakota as well as case capacities are virtually identical.
BTW, I"m getting ready to send a 7mm Rem Mag M-70 Classic Stainless Featherweight off to Gene Simillion to become my new 7mm Dakota.
Gene is going to open the mag box a bit, and custom throat the barrel. I'm thinking a Pac-Nor.
I plan on loading the 160 Accubond and Partition to the base of the neck.
