[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 349466, member: 20245"] Tyler, F-Open shooters consider barrels a consumable, just like brass and bullets. To be really competitive you need a ultra high performance round like the 6.5-284 or a real fast 7mm. What I am researching a lot lately is the 6CM (CompetitionMatch) it's a 6mm made for launching 115dtacs and other heavy 6mm bullets. It uses slow and cool burning single based powder (H1000) to extend barrel life. 115dtacs at 3100+ with around 3000rounds of barrel life. Reseach it a bit, and take it with a grain of salt, I haven't fired one or seen one in action, but heard some several reputable guys about it. They also used some VV powders and pushes the dtacs to 3300fps, but that drastically reduces barrel life. I started a thread titled "big 6mm's" might want to search it. Another opion would be to get a 308 with a long barrel and just go the cheap way out. Still shooting f-class, but not going though at least one barrel a season. Good luck, Oliver [/QUOTE]
