[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2663349, member: 10"] A 6.5-284 throat could last +2500 rounds easily if you used it properly with the intent of having a long barrel life. 338 win mag would last an extremely long time if cared for properly or pretty short if abused. When i released my 7mm Allen Magnum back in 2005, everyone screamed at me that i would be burning throats out before i could find a good load. If not familiar, the 7mm AM is a 338 lapua, necked down and improved to my shoulder and body taper design. 195-200 gr bullet at +3300 fps. 17 years later and hundreds of these rifles out in the field i have yet to have one come back with a burnt throat. I give clear directions on how these rifles should be used and what will happen if these are not followed. Throat life is much more dependent on use then chambering. I have had several personal 7mm AM rifles with over 1000 rounds down the barrels and still capable of 3/4 moa at 1/2 mile. [/QUOTE]
