[QUOTE="santee116, post: 1392713, member: 15950"] Tagging in, love the 6.5-284 discussion. I've got a 28" proof barrel on mine that also shows impressive speeds with RL-26. Haven't done any serious load work yet, just pressure and speed tests. My normal load of 55.5 grains of H1000 with a 140 VLD nets me 3015 fps. I tested up to 54.8 grains of RL-26 with a 140 amax that clocked in at 3135 fps. Here's a question to you 6.5-284 vets, what kind of barrel life have you seen? I'm currently sitting right at 1100 rounds and accuracy is still great. I'm guessing run normally (i.e. no crazy long competition type strings), you should see 1500-2000 rounds, maybe more with slower burning powders like H1000, Retumbo, RL-26, etc... [/QUOTE]
