[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 283034, member: 10"] It would really depend on what type of Varmint Hunting you would be doing. High Volume Varmint Hunting would be hard on the barrel with either of these chamberings to be honest but it would be really hard on a barrel with the 6mm-06. If you will be long range Varmint hunting which is generally more deliberate with less volume of shooting, a fast twist 6mm-06 shooting the 107 gr SMK would be far superior to the 6mm Rem. I say use the 107 gr SMK because its about the only option that will handle the top end velocity potential of the 6-06. If your looking to use 75 gr bullets and no heavier, go with the 6mm Rem. The 06 will will certainly be faster but barrel life will be less as mentioned. Both can be chambered in nearly identical rifles so that is really no consideration. The 6mm Rem can be chambered in a short action but its a very tight fit, its much more comfortable in a long action. [/QUOTE]
