4350 is probably going to be a little fast.
I've been working with the 175gr bullets in mine and 7828 has been good. The 7977 might work for me but I ran out before I got a charge dialed. My rifle seems to like powder charges equal to 7STW max charges so far. Ive been referencing the Hornady volume 8 and also the IMR/Hogdgon online manuals. I usually look at 7 weatherby and 7 STW starting loads with the newer powders and start going up from there. It would be easier if there were new data for the 7 Dakota since there has been a lot of powder development since the last reloading manual that had it in it.

I'm running h1000 with 175's
I need to try the H1000 also since I have some just sitting around. I have enjoyed shooting the Enduron powder. Maybe around 8 patches and 20 reps or so with a nylon brush and have a clean barrel again, that's with quite a few shots through it.
