[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 328483, member: 13833"] The 6.5/.284 is a great round capable of killing these animals at 1000 yds. or more if hit in the vitals. Barrel life is probably in the 2500 round area depending on the load etc. and also depending on whether you are talking bench rest accuracy or something less. The STW is an entirely different matter! I don't know much about them but they are way over bore capacity and I would expect a MUCH shorter barrel life than the .284 version. If you are shooting long range i.e. 500 yds and more, I would use the bergers over the accubonds. Get the 6.5/284!!!.......Rich [/QUOTE]
