[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 2835789, member: 31392"] I would not shoot a lot of that brass as you will soon realize what targets shooters all know "Barrels are Consumable." Shortly after the WSM came out I built a 6.5 WSM which probably has less capacity than the 6.5-300 Weatherby, I found it a dream to shoot and deadly on whitetails. After 500 rounds I found the accuracy went down like a rock and scoped the barrel and it was toast. Others that have done the 6.5 WSM since have found similar results. I have no problem with burning barrels out, in the long run I spend a lot less money on barrels than gas, tires, ... to go hunting or shooting, but I bring it up as a PSA. Find a load that works and shoot it sparingly, 500 rounds is more than most hunting guns get shot in their lifetime. [/QUOTE]
