[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 592120, member: 30902"] Well I sincerely hope it proves to be a fun ride for you. As for why the 6.5x284 is a barrel burner I suspect you are dead on. I've gotten far more life out of my 7mm STW than most people think is possible and I attribute that to avoiding long shot strings. It's only been hot one time when I fired if I remember right 13 shots pretty much as quickly as I could once on a hog eradication job. It has close to 2000 rds down the tube and is just now getting to the point of starting to lose accuracy. I also never loaded heavy bullets and max loads for it; in fact the last 800rds has all come from the same case (full case) of factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
