[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 568493, member: 7449"] Shane, You know we love ya' and I certainly don't have a dog in this fight. That being said I've yet to see a barrel "overly sensitive" to temperature. Each barrel contour/cartridge choice has its own sustainable rate of fire. -Meaning a 22K Hornet in a NBRSA Heavy contour will go a long time before it "chernobyl's" a barrel. A 300RUM in a #3 is going to have to be shot much slower. Your WSM (if I recall correctly) was built on something like a #4 or #5 contour. My guess would be around 2 rounds per minute tops. Interesting to note that I know of two rifles now that have accuracy issues using the same brake design. One we built. It's on its way back to us. It just shoots big. The barrel on that one is a Hart. It'd be nice to say we hit the ball out the park every time, but in reality we don't. Our comeback rate is quite low, but it does happen. FWIW I had reservations about the brake from the git go, but the customer IS always right. . .right??? Just food for thought: I alone held the oversite on barreled actions for 3 years at Nesika. Between Garrett and I we personally fitted barreled actions on every single Dakota Arms/Nesika rifle from 2003-2006. I'd conservatively estimate that 90% of them were using barrels from Dan Lilja. That being said any issue we ever had with accuracy could be traced back to something OTHER than a barrel issue. Anything is certainly possible, but I'd be more inclined to look at the crown, the chamber, something in the assembled barreled action hanging up in the stock (like the bolt release was in your Dasher that I didn't catch right away) A reamer that went sideways, etc. Dan builds a good stick. Least every one that I've ever gotten has shot well. Good luck buddy. Let us know when you get to stretch your legs with the Dasher. Chad [/QUOTE]
