[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1471356, member: 30902"] The whole ".264 is a barrel burner" is based off of thinking that might have been correct in the fifties and sixties but metallurgy and powder tech has advanced by leaps and bounds since that time. With a quality stainless barrel and good care, including not shooting it hot very few hunters will ever "shoot one out". It's not the best choice for a high volume shooter but then neither are any of the other magnums. If you want to shoot in high volume stick to something like the .260 Rem, 6.5Cm, 6.5L, or 6.5x55. There are most certainly quite a few rounds out there that are far harder on barrels than the .264. Magnum performance comes at a price but not nearly as high a price as some keep attributing to the .264. [/QUOTE]
