[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1720797, member: 10291"] Thanks for posting.....interesting article with some very good points. While I pay far more attention to barrel life with my competition rifles/loads, barrel life(within reason) isn’t as much concern with my hunting rifles. Since adopting the 6.5x284, my go to hunting load for the past several years has been a 142gr JLK VLD, rebated boat-tail, relatively low bearing surface(25% less then the Berger 140VLD), using slow burning Retumbo with velocity in the 3000FPS range. My initial motivation for using this particular bullet/load was accuracy/terminal performance on game. In hindsight, I soon found that my throat wear seemed reduced compared to the traditional recipes using faster burning powders and longer bearing surface bullets. [/QUOTE]
