[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2596438, member: 101791"] A couple of things come to mind. Anybody that thinks a 6.5 is to small for a deer rifle think again. I have taken down over 50 deer with a 25/06 in my years, with mostly one shot kills out to 500yds. Now I never had a bore scope until now. I haven't use it yet and I have lots of rifles to look it. 🤣 Back to barrel erosion: Been thinking about this. Now I generally shoot a belted mag for my rifles now. I load in the 75 grain area of powder. About 5grs over max load with the type of powder I use. The kicker is I use Fed 210 primers. I don't use Mag Primers. Now the LR Primers aren't as hot as the LRM Primers. This is where I maybe wrong. I feel that my powder charge is burning going down the barrel, and not at the start of thing. So the heat isn't as great to start with. Either I am doing something good or bad, by not burning my powders all at once or, I am burning my barrels farther down the barrel, I don't know. My powders are petty much the same burning rate too. My velocity are fairly close to the same in each rifle. So I maybe all wet too. [/QUOTE]
