[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 931534, member: 30902"] I don't think anyone believes really that it's going to replace the other 6.5's. It's a caliber that has niche appeal only and to a very small number of shooters. One barrel is not an adequate sample of barrel life, particularly since we don't know how it was shot. You can burn out a barrel in a hurry in most calibers if you shoot it hot. That being said, I don't believe any of us are dumb enough to think this caliber is going to offer great barrel life and that most if not all of us rushing to put one together or to get in line for a custom know what we're getting ourselves into. Whenever you push small diameter bullets over 120 gr to over 3000fps there's a price to be paid in reduced barrel life, the heavier they are and the more you exceed 3000 the shorter that barrel's life is going to be. No one expects their dragsters engine to go 100,000 miles either. [/QUOTE]
