[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 2285854, member: 110787"] Lots of good info posted. One rule of thumb I’ve had after setting a barrel back only to see minimal barrel life gains. If you have a lathe and can do it yourself (meaning not paying a gunsmith) then set backs or changes are worth it. But a gunsmith is going to charge the same to do a new barrel versus a setback…just get a new barrel. Good luck…I’m biased, but building a 300wsm and 6.5 saum…both good options with brass available. This will be my second 6.5 saum as a buddy wanted my first one worse than I wanted to keep it. [/QUOTE]
