7mm Dakota Loads

[Ironman]

Hello, new to this site referred by some who know a lot more than me. Was hoping to develop a load around the Nosler Accubond Long Range 175, and the Barnes LRX 168. Called Nosler and they said that their Accubond Long range likes jump, .050 or so. Does anyone have experience with either of these?

I know some use the 180 berger VLD's and would be curious about this combo as well. I have most of the popular powders for this cartridge, H1000, IMR7828, RL22, H4831, Retumbo ect.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I run 180 Berger Hybrids in mine.

Let me check the load numbers before I post something wrong, but I'm using REtumbo in mine.

H1000 would be ok, a touch faster but with a lighter bullet that might be the ticket to happiness. Never tried 7828, but that might also work. RL-22 is a bad choice for the desert for me so I never tried it.

I shot the Barnes 168 LRX today with good results, half inch three shot group at 100 yards. 75.5 H1000 @ 3162fps. Not quite there with the Nosler Accubond Long Range, anyone working with these?
