[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2136973, member: 115299"] I shot 6.5x284 for bench comps and 3x600 running 123s and 130s at 3000fps. I have never seen a 6.5x284 shot out in 600 rounds. Pressures and ballistics are almost Identical to the 6.5 PRC and the 6.5x55 AI which has even better barrel life. Shot 1500 through my last one before selling it 10 years ago. The 26 and 28 noslers are going 800 rounds respectively and they are way hotter. I would say under normal use and with good care the average 6.5x284 Norma is going to go about 1500 rounds before any noticeable difference in accuracy. Because the OP has stated that this is a practice iron and he has narrowed it down to one of two 6mm s wanting a reduced recoil I agree with the two choices he has presented. My present just go play iron is a 6.5 creedmoor. It will do 1250 plus without breaking a sweat. Shoots and consistently 1/2 moa to 600+. Of the 2 the OP is leaning towards the dasher is the new darling of the 1000 yard world, though I personally prefer a little more gun. [/QUOTE]
