[QUOTE="Time Killer, post: 831004, member: 30606"] As a Heat Treater by trade and an owner of a 6.5/284 I went with stainless. As to the previous comments about the difference between 300 and 400 series stainless steels, you are correct. They are 2 totally different animals. 300 series being the Austenitic type and can only be work hardened. 400 series is Martensitic type that can easily be hardened through conventional heat treating. Everything the Bushman said was correct, but I chose the SS barrel for the possibility of lessening the throat erosion problem of this speedster of a cartridge. On a less geeky note, it sure is fun to shoot! [/QUOTE]
