[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1677500, member: 68875"] If you are looking at 2000-2500+ rounds of barrel life, you better keep speeds in the 2700-2900 max range. I just rebarreled my 6.5SLR after 2800+ rounds of 140 HVLDs @ 2820fps. Had a couple hundred hunting rounds @ 2950fps thrown in the tally. You won't get 2000-2500+ accurate rounds from any of the ones I previously mentioned. Speed, pressure and heat kill a barrel. I guess you could have two loads. A full power hunting load, and a light target load for shooting higher volumes. I would stick to a SA cartridge in that case. 6.5x47L 6.5Creed 6.5SLR .260 Rem 6.5x55Swede (not AI) [/QUOTE]
