[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 32797, member: 313"] You should expect this cartridge to be extremely hard on barrels. If it were me I'd consider the 7mm-300wby. In theory, a 7mm-300Wby would be capable of shooting a 140gr bullet a little faster than the 6.5x300Wby and enjoy a little more throat life at the same time. Either way the 6.5x300Wby does sound interesting and dies for it are a cataloged item from Redding. Another thought would be to have your gunsmith cut you a set of custom dies while he is doing the work. The price may not be all that much more.
