[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1268815, member: 10291"] Absolutely. The irony is that the same benchrest/competition shooters that established the 6.5x284's reputation as a barrel burner are likely responsible for its birth and popularity. Unfortunately, even though the right powder choice yields barrel life comparable to many of its popular ballistic counterparts, the stigma of "barrel burner" persists. I think this is because some 6.5x284 shooters continue to use the fast burning powders, and worse, the Internet butterflies unwittingly parrot "barrel burner" at every opportunity ......all this keeping the reputation alive and well. Too bad, but interestingly, even with this ill deserved reputation, the 6.5x284 continues be a top choice amongst long range hunters....and, at least based upon my personal experiences, rightfully so.
