[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1268356, member: 1007"] I use to subscribe to the notion that running a 6.5-284 easy, cool between shots etc...would yield great barrel life. After trying that, I still had to set the barrel back at 450 rounds and again at 600. I gave up hope at 750. I'll still shoot under .7 MOA at 800 rounds but it's frustrating to watch a barrel that would shoot in the .1s and .2s most days and .3s and .4s on its worst days (rarely) and then open up to north of .5. Plus the charge weights had to be altered every so often to accommodate a flame cut throat. I babied that barrel from shot one and it still deteriorated at a high rate. Anymore, I'm happy with a larger bore and a little more recoil in exchange for better barrel life. Just MHO and point of view. M [/QUOTE]
