Look in an older Barnes reloading manual. I'm not at home or I could tell you which manual. I have two rifles chambered in 330 Dakota. One shoots bug holes with any bullet I put in it. the only powder I use is 4831sc. One rifle is a 1.250 barreled Remington in McHale stock(weighs arount 12 lbs) 28" 10 twist Kreiger, and I don't have any problem shooting clays at 800 yds, on home range, and it took 26moa from 100 zero to get on at 1000. I chronoed at 2850 with 250 Lapua's.The other is a 9lb hunting rifle on v-action Nesika and I stick with the 210 Sirocco, or 225 Accubond. I'm out of town until late Monday p.m, but if you e-mail me at wbm748@msn.com, I will e-mail you my load data, as long as YOU DO NOT START THERE. I love the big thump, and have killed 300+lb deer in Canada with the Nesika gun. It is easy to load and have tried RL22,RL25,H-1000, and always come back to H4831sc.Regards, Waverly McNeill P.S. I only use FED215m primers.
