The latest Hornady manual has 7mm Dakota Data in it and I believe that the Barnes #2 does also (Dakota sells it). With my Model 10 7 Dakota I got the same velocities as the manual with 3-4grs less off the same powder! This is a round that you want to start off even further back than usual when working you way up. Good luck, it's a neat round just be more cautious than normal and watch your velocities..............DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||

I have a #1 in 7mm Dakota. I pretty much stick to the 160gr bullets but have played w/ the 140 & 175gr. My 26"bbl. #1 likes IMR7828 & RL22 for all bullet weights. I easily reach 3250fps w/ exc. accuracy rom the 160gr bullets, 3400fps w/ 140gr. As dj stated, Hornady has data, but vel. are a bit off from my rifle. I find for my rig, it's close to a 7mmSTW. PM me if you want some specific data. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

Jordan, it's personnal perference for most guys on bullets, blondes vs red heads. If your shots are all going to be beyond 300yds, then you might get by w/ a cup/core bullet, but if you end up w/ a 80yd shot, well a 160gr bullet impacting @ 3100fps+ is going to make a mess out of the bullet. I like the 160grNP as an all round bullet for close to far, it's also very accurate out of my #1S. The NAB is also a good choice but I haven't taken any game w/ it yet. SGK & SMK, not for me thanks, JMO. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||
