The 156 berger with 76.6 of retumbo is working well for me,the increased bc makes up for the bullet weight at long range ,shooting 1/2 moa at 300 yds if i do my part. I left my turret set on the gun 612bc,3309 fps,3000 ft from the 140 bergers and 800 yds seems to be right on or at least the...

Good morning,first shot 300 yds,dead coyote,second shot 400 yds,dead coyote,third shot 460 yds dead coyote,78.3 retumbo 140 grain nitride coated Berger,1-8 Brux barrel,,Stiller action, very consistent load for me

Garden city/ulysses

When I tried ablr I had higher pressure that with Berger’s,try different bullet and check results

I have a 26 with Stiller action and brux barrel. Today kinda by accident I found a real tac driver,at least for me,78 grains retumbo,Winchester magnum primers,140 grain Berger’s seated .002 off lands,3.52 oal ,boron nitride,3391fps,easy bolt ,three shots in 5/8 of inch at 200 yds,suppressor.went...

You are getting better than book velocity I believe with less powder.i will shoot some retumbo threw mine and check results.i also shoot a 6.5 Dakota with 75 grains of retumbo with 140 grain Berger’s at 3412fps which is why your pressures seem high.i also had hangfire problems with it till I...

Also be sure you have not tightened the bore with excessive copper fouling

Are you sure your not jammed into the lands.?you should not have pressure with those loads,also change primers and see if it changes.im shooting 91 grains of 869 with the 127 lrx.might increase your jump to 10 thou and recheck

Finally,got to go on an archery hunt for moose.mathews xlr8 and rage hyperdermic,60 yd shot,down in 75 yds.carbon express,wahoooo!

Rage hypodermic and Mathews xlr8 60 yd shot Yukon territorys

I will try some,tks

Better late than never,I did a 7mm Dakota neckdown to 6.5 and love it.i have all the reloading data on load Developement.retumbo shoots great,I have shot the caliber about 2000 rounds,case life is unbelievable,140 berger,3412 cps,100 grain 4018fpf,easy to do,my 2 cents

I have the uhv.5 velocity 1000 on my 6.5 Dakota. had to cut a few grains out to match reticle but the scope works very well,however you need to realize that the reticle is only good at 22 power so that is a hinderance if you want to turn down for some closer shots. It is sweet to just range and...

I shoot a 6.5 Dakota with 140 bergers at 3412 and they still group well so I wonder what velocity he is running?
