[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 163348, member: 12"] Pretty sure some of their ancestors said the world was flat too!! For sure the 6-284 will go 3730 with 87s OR 3500 with 105s but not normally the same twist barrel. The 6-284 is a known barrel burner, that there is no question on. The 300 WSM for some reason is not a barrel burner particularily compared to other magnums. We have guys right now in the 1k BR game shooting barrels in 300 WSM with 3300 rounds threw them in the 1k BR game, and the gun is still winning. Guess I am not a fan of a barrel burner cartridge. If you are happy with 800-1000 rounds for a barrel, great, I know those gunsmiths are! If Richard Franklin says the 300 WSM like he sets up will do 4000, then I would not want to bet against him, regardless of who says what here. My bet is that they have not tried a 300 WSM with a 15 twist barrel, so that means that at best they were only guessing. Most people and most gunsmiths say that a 300 WSM will not run a 210 over 2900 fps, but I know that it will run them up to 3050 also with the right set up and not be overpressure for that setup. Guess I would not be worried about recoil in a LR varmint gun shooting those weight bullets in that weight guns, but a $500-600 barrel every yr or less does concern me. However, each to their own and those are the considerations that all of us have to make and what is important to each. BH [/QUOTE]
