[QUOTE="lboom, post: 509675, member: 13237"] I have 2 6.5 dakotas and I love them. They are so much more than my old 264. Alot of guns are barrel burners if you heat the barrel up. I have over 1000 rounds threw mine and it still shoots good. 140 grain at 3400 to 3450. 75 grains of retumbo. 3363 at 74.5 of retumbo.My 140 grain have just a bit more energy at 1000 yards than a 7mm 168 grain and shoot a lot flatter. My case life is unbelievabe,at least 20 reloads per case and have never had a case failure except when I was developing loads and got too hot and swelled the case. Dont want it that hot,turn it down,still shoots great and more accurate than the belted cases. [/QUOTE]
