[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2136406, member: 115299"] You are already shooting what is to be completely honest one of the most successful long range cartridges in the business and barrel life is not bad either and brass is great. The 6.5x284 Norma is an excellent long range cartridge out to close to a mile (1760 yards) with some of the best BC bullets available. Additionally, it is fairly light recoiling compared to others and not to over-bored. Other considerations if you like 6.5s would be the 6.5x55 AI (Improved) or the 6.5 PRC neither of which will give you any real advantage over the 6.5x284 Norma. For inside 1400yards the 6mm and 6.5 creedmoors are excellent as well as the 260 rem, 7mm-08 rem and 284 win. If you want to go beyond a mile consistently and not burn through barrels every other year you will need to step up to the big 338s.The 338 RUM, Edge and Lapua Improved are the most practical and efficient. One exception would be the 300 Norma Improved. A couple others to consider if we are talking to a mile would be 7mm saum, 300 win mag, and 300 PRC. Again, however, the 6.5x284 Norma is hard to beat for your intended purpose. The 6.5x284 Norma is just about a perfect cartridge. IMHO everything else is just trying to reinvent the wheel. Blessings!
