[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 559170, member: 24624"] While there are a number of contributors to barrel life, 800 is a number that's often thrown around for 6.5x284. And, it's something I can live with. I bought a used Kreiger with 800 rounds down it, did a setback and built a very nice sub-half MOA hunting rifle. And, I'll change things up again when the accuracy wanes or when I get bored. For a competition rifle, I can see how barrel life minus load development minus practice equals not much life left. But, then you shouldn't limit yourself to these 2 cartridges either. I have no idea where 6.5-06 stands in the mix for barrel life. For those that consider 800 a big problem, there are a lot of 6.5's to choose from. I'd like to own one of each. In the end, Lapua brass with the 6.5x284 headstamp is a big plus for me. -- richard [/QUOTE]
