[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 27079, member: 34"] [b]Re: Throat errosion concerning the large case 6.5\'s[/b] Brent Over the years I have had the pleasure of owning and shooting the 6.5/06, 6.5 Gibbs, 264 Mag, 6.5/300 Weatherby and now have 3 6.5/284 guns for 1000 yard match shooting. The velocity from the 6.5/300 Weatherby can be as high as 3450 using the 139 to 142 gr bullets. When running that speed barrel wear is a factor. I know of several 6.5/300 Weatherbys that have 2000 rounds through them and are still shooting well. The 6.5/06 is a great cartridge as are the 6.5 Gibbs and 6.5/284 cartirdges. At 2950 to 3000 Fps in the 6.5/06 or the 6.5/284 the barrels will ALWAYS last to at least 2000 rounds without fail. This of course if you don't overheat them. The 6.5 Gibbs will duplicate the 264 Mag ballistics in 30" barrels. This one is another good 6.5. One of the best shooters at Williamsport uses the 6.5/284 case and changes his barrels when they reach 2000 rounds fired even if they are still shooting well. For length of barrel rear, and accurate shooting ability, I will say the 6.5/06 or the 6.5/284 is a great pair of cartridges to consider. If a person wants extreme power from the 6.5 Bullet, then the well documented 6.5/300 Weatherby would be one to consider. It was and still is one of the finest LR hunting cartridges used in this area of PA.for deer. Later DC [/QUOTE]
