7 mm Dakota Powder

[Hawk in WY]

What are you using for 175 gr Barnes LRX?

I have tried several powders but haven't found the right combination.

Of the Alliant powders Reloder 22, 23, or 26?

Thanks for the help.

I've been using IMR 8133 with the 168gr LRX's. Think I seated them .0045 off and using 215M primers. Have been getting some low ES with them, and some decent groups too. Too bad the good groups and low ES weren't on the same loads. I think I finally settled on one load that was around 1/2 MOA and ES around 10 to 15.
If I could find R26 I would try it also.

Tried any H1000?

Tried any H1000?

i have not.

That may be my next option.

I have a few loaded with RL-26. I will see how those look.

Problem solved.

RL-26 holds half moa.

Haven't run them across a chronograph but should be fast. I'm over max but no pressure signs.

Now on to the next problem child.

What are you using for the 145 LRX in 7 mm Dakota?.

26 is one of those magic dust powders
