[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 260349, member: 14209"] The 6.5x.280 AI would still have to be fireformed to fit the chamber, but not to the same degree as going from a 6.5-06 A-square to a 6.5-06 AI. The shoulder would still have to be formed and straightened out when necking down a caliber. A 6.5 Gibbs still has greater case capacity than the 6.5x.280 AI having a shorter neck and shoulder that's pushed even more forward. Barrel life should be on par with a 6.5x.284. 1500 rounds should be easy as long as the bbl is well taken care of. Mine should last me my whole life. I'll probablly fireform 200 rounds and then shoot it enough to get to know it and develop a good 120g load and then I'll use it for hunting on occasion. Does any one out there have Data for the 6.5-06 using RL-22. I've got a couple of pounds and I want to use it for Fireforming.... thanks, Dan [/QUOTE]
