[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 711211, member: 1007"] The 6.5x284 has a barrel burner reputation for 3 main reasons. 1: Many shooters push them to the absolute limits. 2: Many shooters use these maxed out loads in match rifles. 20-30 top end loads in 20-30 minutes is very hard on a 6.5x284 barrel. 3: 6.5x284 have carbon fouling/carbon ring issues in short order. If not deat with swiftly and effectively, will destroy the accuracy potential of the barrel. Even after it is figured out and rectified. Lower the pressures, limit the shot strings and keep a handle on the carbon near the breach and it will treat you right. [/QUOTE]
