[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 932371, member: 24284"] You said, "the .308 isn't the best 1000yd cartridge but neither is the 6.5mmX.284. At any distance past 600yds. the 6.5mm X .284 will out preform the .308 Win. by very wide margines. Ask me how I know. Been there,, done that. Funny, but David Tubbs keeps winning the nationals with his 6mmXC. I wouldn't want to shoot elk with it, but its a hell of a target round and every bit as effective as the .308 at compairable ranges. Until you step up to the .300 Win Mag or larger .30 cals or on up to the .338s the 6.5mm get it done, and done very well at that. It has the BCs and velocity for that distance. As for the Melonite/Black Nitride process,, I've been using it on my own high intensity builds and many more on builds for customers for 5+ years now with nothing but positive results. When properly broke-in before treating and properly cleaned after treating barrel life is increased considerably, say for example from 1000rds. to 1500rds.+. Just ask any 1000yd. "gong smacker", the 6.5 x .284 is a round to be reckoned with on the firing line. Don't bother to bring the .308 as it'll be completely out-classed at that distance. [/QUOTE]
