[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 532756, member: 2215"] I'm very familiar with the 6.5 - 284. I've built just for myself 4 of them. I've tried different barrel mfg's. What you'll see is about 800-1000 rounds before accuracy and the throat gets burned out. The barrel itself doesn't wear out just the throat. If you get a contour with enough material at the breech end after the throat is burned out you can set the barrel back about 1"-2" , re-chamber and you'll see about 600-800 more rounds. Should last for several years of use unless he's doing a ton of shooting per year. My 1st 6.5 - .284 was used strictly for long range woodchucks. It took me 4 years to get 300 rounds down the barrel. At that rate the barrel would last about 12 years before it needed set back. [/QUOTE]
