[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 1087154, member: 61185"] Berger Bullets reloading manual has data for the 7 mm Dakota. For their 168 grain bullet you were a over their max load of 68.8 grs. using IMR-7828 SSC, which in most cases the Barnes bullets tend to use less powder being a monolithic bullet to achieve the same pressure. 7 MM DAKOTA 168 Match VLD Target, Match VLD hunting H4831 SC 62.0-67.5 RL-25 65.5-71.1 RETUMBO 70.0-76.0 They have a few other powders listed but not H1000. I'd find a bullet that the barrel likes best, and go from there. Question, is the contour of the barrel thin and does it have 3/4 rib and front sight attached to the barrel? Either of those can cause some issues with what to expect from the rifle accuracy wise that I've found that can happen with both in a barrel. [/QUOTE]
