[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 790356"] I built a 6.5-270 WSM and they say if you don't get the barrel real hot it should go 900 rds. So far during testing I have been able to push 140 gr A Max's at 3300 fps and the 120 gr Barnes TTSX's at 3600 fps out of a 30 inch tube. There is a guy on this site that had his barrel Melonited and he has over 1200 rds thru it and still going strong. After I start seeing throat erosion I am going to cut it off and rechamber it and get it Melonited. I think the 6.5 WSM is a good choice for what you want. Tarey [/QUOTE]
