[QUOTE="Naymola, post: 156815, member: 3843"] Replacing barrel's after 400 rounds does'nt allow a guy to do much load development,after trying 2-3 powders and bullets for the best load combination? Hoping to get a bit longer barrel life with frequent cleaning,ridding of carbon deposits,and more importantly,not allowing the barrel to get hot from too many sucsessive shots. How much difference in barrel life could a guy expect to see between a .22 and 6mm? Not worried so much about throat life,more so in the pursuit of consistant accuracy at 4-5-600 yards hunting varmints. I have a.224 Vais with a 14 twist barrel,built on a Rem 700 action,so I've got the die's, had the bolt face opened up for it,that's why I'm leaning towards that choice,do a re-barrel with a 8 twist and go with the 80 grain bullets. I would'nt hesitate to go with a 6mm if I was comvinced it was clearly the better choice.I'd give the 6mm-Vais a go. Planning on making my next build a 6-284 using 105-107 bullets. Thanks again Fella's for your input. [/QUOTE]
