[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 599427, member: 1007"] Well you could do what I am doing.....That is having two barrels. One to shoot alot and the other to hunt with. Switch barrel guns are easy to set up. I am using the 308 for practice and soon the 6.5x284 for coues, antelope and sheep all on the same platform (action, stock, scope etc...). Aside from energy, the 6.5x284 is ballistically equal to the 300Win mag with up to 208'-210s. The 308 offers incredible barrel life (if you dont abuse them), mild recoil, extreme accuracy, ease of tuning, efficiency etc...AND is a very effective long range deer killer in case your 6.5 barrel or 300WSM is out of commission. It can also double up as a mid range elk rifle need be. Then, when you go coues, antelope or sheep hunting, the 6.5 barrel can be installed in minutes, sighted in and you're ready to go. At coues, sheep and antelope altitudes and temps, you can hit the magic 1000'/# at 1000 yards with 1800'/sec. What more could you ask for? Then you have your 300WSM for your LR elk. With the right bullet, can reach just under 1500'/# at 1K and 6500'/ASL. Again, what more could you ask for? M [/QUOTE]
