[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1995483, member: 54178"] DJ, you're correct that for hunting we don't need many shots. If you can't get a big game animal down with two shots you might want to go back to paper punching on the range from a cement bench. My 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro has a skinny barrel [I]and[/I] it's fluted making it even lighter but also more prone to bullet dispersion when it heats up. So after three 1/2 MOA shots in 2 minutes or less it does throw bullets into 1 1/4 MOA so I need to make one or two shot big game kills. I do think a cld hammer forged barrel of the same size and weight would do a bit better when hot as these barrels tend to be more stress relieved. [/QUOTE]
