[QUOTE="Broz, post: 541283, member: 7503"] Larger bullets usually require a lesser load of powder to get to the max pressure of a given caliber. Having owned 6mm/284's before I feel that lesser powder will be your friend. The 6mm/284 like most wildcats will burn the throat long before any rifling wear will come farther down the tube. Mikecr gave you good advice here. [B]Take time to cool between shots[/B]. Shoot hot groups or take it to a dog town and start repeated firings and you are probably looking at a 500 round rifle, or less. Hunt with it and wait between shots and you will get the longest life. The heat from this large case and the relativly small bore is the killer. Neat chambering though they tend to be very accurate. Jeff [/QUOTE]
