[QUOTE="Sako284, post: 1855482, member: 113564"] I’d lean towards the 6.5-284 on a long action. I have burned two 6.5-284 barrels in competitions where they get 20 round strings really quick. First barrel lasted about 1100 rounds and it was still accurate just not competitive accurate. The second barrel was never as accurate as the first and I pretty much demoted the gun to crop control, lr varmints etc. I got more like 1600 rounds from that as it saw very few matches. If you use the 26 Nos for nothing but hunting and limit the shot strings to no more than 3 rounds, then let it cool, I could see you getting 500 rounds out of it. Which is adequate for a dedicated LR hunting gun provided you find your load relatively quickly. [/QUOTE]
