[QUOTE="snicl1, post: 27721, member: 1449"] H-Bar, The big issue for me was barrel life & not having to buy too many of them. I've heard that the 6-284 is really hard on barrels & is considered by a few varmint hunters I know as a very overbore cartridge. I don't know much about the 6.5-284 but can't imagine that .5mm will make that big of a difference. Bottom line is, I'm cheap & impatient. I'd rather beat up my shoulder than hammer my wallet every 1000-1500 rds or wait a year to have my new barrel installed. On a different note, do you know how many yards a 77-80 gr Matchking will travel before it goes sub-sonic when fired from a 223 rem w/a 20" barrel? I know they were designed for the 600 yard line, but wonder if they're good for beyond. Just asking cause of your name. Thanks for the input. Chris. [/QUOTE]
