[QUOTE="Guide1971, post: 1235590, member: 98013"] Hello everyone, New here and have a few questions about a new build. I recently purchased a used Forbes Rifle in 30\06 but when I took it to my gunsmith he showed me pics of my Lands peeling up in 3 spots in my barrel after only 38 rounds so I've decided to rebarrel in a different caliber. So I like the 6.5x284 and was set on that but after reading up on that caliber I've learned barrel life maybe an issue. Mind you it's soul purpose would be hunting Deer and Bear and the odd trip to the range to play around with some loads. So my question is how long of a barrel life can I expect out of this caliber and what length of barrel should I install ?gun) [/QUOTE]
