[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 588591, member: 8839"] Barrel length will also play a part. Often times there is a high node and a low node. Two of mine whould run 2850 or 3025fps with great acuracy. In my 26" 6.5-284 I could not run the high node, at 3000 it shot great but kicked the crap out of the brass, 2850 was all she wrote. There is no magic formula for barrel life, I mostly ran therm 2850fps and one barrel was toast at 1K even a little before. That barrel was run hot dirty and hard:) I had another go 1500 with no problems. Not a BR gun but could still kill G-Hogs and Deer at long range. I did find as the throat went it wouldnt shoot Bergers anymore, I switched back to SMK's and it tightend up and lasted another 200 rounds. Might have been a tougher jacket. [/QUOTE]
