[QUOTE="joseytoo, post: 2037744, member: 111508"] I personally look at barrel life as a big factor in these decisions. Never had one, but I am led to believe the 6.5x284 and PRC etc. are really hard on barrels. I really don't want to spend the time and effort to build something that may be shot out before I find a load. But that's just me! Maybe I'm too old and set in my ways. I tend to hang on to what works for me, that's why I have been killing animals with the same rifle for over 20 years; but they still die when I touch the trigger. And I haven't had to worry about what it likes in a very long time! YRMV [/QUOTE]
