300 Dakota

[dragman]

I am setting up a new rifle I just acquired for my medium to short shots for a hunting trip. I needed a 600 and under gun for white tail and instead of using something I had I picked up a really interesting piece. Interarms mark x completely trued and bolt nice and jeweled, the trigger is a Timeny and the barrel a 25" shilen 10 twist HV with the deepest flutes you will ever see.

I have never played with the 300 Dakota was thinking of running some 178 grain Amax's with RL25 but any suggestions would be appreciated. Don't wanna go too heavy as I wont be shooting over 600 I thought the 178 would be a good split of heavy but not too heavy.

I load for it quite a bit. The only bullet under 200 gr I tried was the Berger 185 classic. I got around 3300 with 7828ssc, 3325 was pressure. If u want I could dig up my info.

That's ok, I got some info from them and they set me on the right direction. RL22 80 grains with the 168's.

Thanks
