[QUOTE="dakor, post: 67076, member: 2204"] So Brian you are trying to tell me that a 6mm AI barrel will out last a 6-284 barrel by more the a couple of hundred rounds? Can you explain that when you have to fire form cases with probably a charge of some where around 46 grains. So lets say you fire form 100 cases using 46 grain charge that is 4600 grains of powder you just ran through your bore just to form cases. Now you shoot 100 rounds with a 6-284 lets say with a 54 grain charge. Thats 5,400 grains of powder. Now that your cases are fire formed you shoot a another 100 rounds through your 6mm AI at say 50 grains. Now you have 200 rounds down the bore and 9,600 grains of powder something doesn't add up here now does it? Your are shooting more powder down the bore and also more bullets in the same bore DIA so I would like to know how you say it will get better barrel life? I am not trying to start a fight but something is not making sense to me with the argument the 6mm AI will have longer barrel life then a 6-284? I am curious on how many rounds did you have through your 6-284 and did you shoot P-dogs with it is my next question?
