[QUOTE="LongRange338, post: 1382743, member: 5611"] Agreed that the 6.5x284 is known as a barrel burner. The other 6.5s are also known for limited barrel life (for competition even though that's not what OP states he is looking for). The 6.5x284 has a little more punch with the heavier bullets, factory ammo support, and less expensive brass options than say the 6.5x47 and 260. The 6.5x47 and 260 are fine options but suffer from factory support limitations or being expensive. The 6.5PRC looks very interesting as well but is very new. Interestingly enough with a short barrel and good factory support he could go with the good ole 6.5x55 but after so many years its probably not as sexy as other options... [/QUOTE]
