[QUOTE="Jack R Tishue Jr, post: 1604642, member: 109081"] The shooting out the barrel on a 6/5x284 has nothing to do with whether load top end or less, it's the way the case feeds the gas into the barrel that burns it out. And if shooting competitively going to shoot a lot, several 1000 a year. A friend, a top LR shooter said when he was actively competing replaced his barrel at least twice a season (May to October). However, if, as you note, want to just hunt with it can last a lot longer. But how much are you going to "practice shoot" during a year? Even if you only go out once a month and shoot up a box of ammo, that's 240 rounds, so the barrel gone in 3 years, or less. [/QUOTE]
