[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 2944888, member: 103919"] I fell for the 6.5 Addiction which is a mostly improved 6.5x55. I got custom dies, custom hydro forming die, and a reamer. Like has been said before a 140 at 2950 offers great performance for targets and hunting. That node doesn't stress the brass at all. Shooting in PRS style matches showed advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages was a 1500-1700 round barrel life before velocity would start to drop. At around 1500 rounds, I had to start adjusting my velocity for each match. [/QUOTE]
