[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 401253, member: 25488"] You will find that any caliber that pushes a long bullet fast will be criticized as a barrel burner. 90% of the occasional shooters or average hunters who hear barrel burner attached to a caliber spread it like wild fire. And being an RUM it will come with some amount of recoil, more bad rap. Basically in many cases it is simply "Penis envy"( hope I didn't break any rules by using that term). You got a Vette and they are driving an oldsmobile. Of course there is nothing wrong with the olds, it just isn't a vette. If you shoot it a lot, will it burn out the barrel? Very likely, however, it is a great cartridge for your purpose. That is the first thing you see on most forums when you read about any RUM, STW, or any 6.5 capable of pushing a 140 grain bullet beyond 3,000 fps. Plain fact is that if they drove that olds as much as we shoot our long range rifles, it wouldn't last 30 + years either. [/QUOTE]
