[QUOTE="bkillion28, post: 1417602, member: 104512"] If it's for a hunting rifle there is nothing wrong with a 26 nosler, shooting 20 rounds a year it would take 35 years to get to 700 rounds, the biggest problem with the 26 imo is how much nosler wants for a box of ammo for it, but if your wanting to take one to the range or what ever else the 6.5 284 would be better, the 264 is a good option too or the 28 nosler I'm having one built now. And I throw another one out there is a 6.5 300 weatherby(I'm 90% sure it's weatherby), it would be considered a barrel burner too but if it's just a hunting rifle it would be perfect, my friend has one on a savage action and I'd love to get my hands on it, it's probably the flattest shooting rifle I've shot, but your not going to go hit rocks with it every day either. I've noticed a lot of people get hung up on 700-900 round barrel life I see their point but you got to ask yourself how long is it going to take You not some one else to reach the end of the barrel life, just my two cents [/QUOTE]
