[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1694171, member: 10291"] Most of the 6.5x284 barrel life neurosis is overstated, and not much different from most cartridges capable of its performance. I expect about 1500(avg) rounds using a slow burning powder, and not toasting the barrel at every outing. Not much different from its ballistic alternatives used under the same conditions. My primary hunter is going on 10 years, at 1100 rounds. and is still at .25-.5MOA, ES<12FPS. No throat erosion, fire cracking. IMO. [/QUOTE]
