[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 331641, member: 4683"] Just an opinion but i wouldn't consider a 6.5-284 a barrel burner when used as a hunting round or a target round. I try to get my share of practice in but that practice doesn't involve firing 10 or more rounds back to back. People talk about certain cartridges being barrel burners -but more often than not they are refering to competition shooting. A 6.5 grendel would be a barrel burner if there was a competition where you pounded out 30 shots in a row. 6.5stw as an absolute top end 6.5 wsm would rate very high for me as a longrange hunting cartridge 6.5 -06 or 6.5-06 ackley very high on the list 6.5-284 sure can't go wrong there and load developement would probably take you ten minutes [/QUOTE]
