[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1044456, member: 10291"] It will be very interesting to see how many rounds you end up getting out of your barrel. You are at twice the typical expectation. I am sure you have experienced, the reputation of the 6.5-284 as a barrel burner persists. Being an avid user of this cartridge, I firmly believe this reputation was overblown by the competitive shooters and the life of this barrel differs little from many, and better than some of cartridges that deliver comparable ballistic performance. I have a couple of 6.5-284's but one in particular is a bone stock Savage LRH that I luckily won at an egg shoot a few years back. I decided to carefull track the accuracy vs number of rounds and am currently at 600. I clean with Boreteck every 50-100 rounds nothing fancy. The top photo was after some break in when I first got it, the bottom about 2 weeks ago after 600 rounds. I'll keep tracking it.
