[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1467953, member: 30902"] I'm not at all convinced that the 6.5-284 is going to be appreciably harder on barrels than the 6.5prc. With the 6.5prc you have the advantage of slower powders but the difference I doubt will be appreciable to most shooters in the long term. The 6.5-284 has only recently become appreciated as a hunting caliber and there has been an explosion in factory rifles and ammo in the caliber so I expect it to be around for at least a couple of more generations. The Hornady/Ruger partnership is strong but most people don't jump from one caliber to the next, they stick to what they grew up with and pass their preferences along to their kids as a rule rather than an exception.
