Zero Driftthmpr - You will find that the slower powders will net the best accuracy in the Dakota case. I use H-4831sc and 160gr Nosler Partition or Partition Gold non-moly. My load is 75gr of H-4831sc and I am getting 3200 fps +/- (this is a max load - start out lower). I also have achieved good results with 75gr RL-22 - this is also a max load.
Call Dakota for more loading data - 605 347-4686. I am presently working on a load with Retumbo. Looks like one can squeeze 50 to 75 more fps with safe chamber pressures. May wish to ask Dakota about Retumbo.

thmprZero: What barrel length do you have & do you have 140gr. loads.
