[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 401433, member: 25488"] there is a point I didn't think of that I actually do adhere to with my 2 6.5-284's Where I step my loads back for just shooting to what would be maximum for a 6.5x55 or standard 260, you could step yours back to hot 7 rem mag velocities and still maintain a little less pressure while using a bit faster powder, and this could add considerably to your barrel life. My target loads for my 6.5-284's are doing between 2750 and 2850 with 130 grain VLD's where my hunting loads push 3150 with 140 grain VLD's. I can still shoot targets at long range as these are high BC projectiles to start with, but I don't need the energy that I am capable of carrying to that distance, I believe this will help by adding a few hundred rounds to the barrel. Can't say for certain but I would surmise that with less pressure you could preserve your barrel life a little if it is a concern. [/QUOTE]
