[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2459731, member: 30902"] Unless you push it really hard a 6.5PRC should produce pretty decent barrel life. It was designed from the start for high volume PRS competition shooters. A 6.5 CM or 6.5-06 should give you better barrel life but if you're not a high volume shooter any of them should easily last you 15-20 years or more with regular cleaning and maintenance. Avoid long shot strings and don't shoot it hot and any of them should give you 1,500-2 ,000 or more rounds of barrel life. Melonite or Nitriding a barrel can extend that life considerably as well.
