7mm Dakota H1000 Help Needed

[agr516]

I am about to work up a new load for my 7mm Dakota with a 155gr bullet. With recent powder shortages, I am out of Retumbo which has been my go to powder for this rifle. The next best thing i have to work with is H1000 but i cannot find any load data for the H1000 and 150-155gr bullets. Does anyone have any load data that they can share? Thanks.

Which 155gr bullet?
Mono, or cup & core?

Best comparison I can share is I found a nice load between 75-78 grains of H1000 with the Barnes 145 LRX. If I remember correctly, 78 grains was showing pressure, so please be cautious.

If you have 7828ssc, you might give that a try with the lighter bullets.

Thank you, that does give me an idea of where to start with the 155gr.

Thank you, I do have some 7828 that I can try if the H1000 doesn't work out

My 7mm DAKOTA load for 160Gr. BT, & a particular H-1000 LOT, is 78.0gr: in the current 25" long Bartlein 5R, 1:9" twist (twist won't make much difference), produces substantially over 3200fps: this is a stout load! I'd begin at about ten grains less - around 68gr. Good shootin'! RG
