[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1028224, member: 22069"] I believe this assessment to be spot on. Anyone who is considering a fast 6.5 should also take a careful look at the Melonite process. It appears this form of metal treatment can significantly extend barrel life. I plan to have that done to my next 6.5 barrel. I think it could REALLY be a godsend for the .26 Nosler. I would add that, if you purchase a factory rifle chambered for a fast 6.5, the factory tube should especially be considered expendable. When you buy the rifle, put a good barrel on order and plan to have it installed and Melonited after you burn out the factory tube. [/QUOTE]
