[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1145726, member: 1521"] You should know the 6.5x284 accurate barrel life already. It's ~1200, and is too big for the cal so it has to be downloaded to viable pressures(hurting accuracy). The 6.5saum is 6gr bigger still, and the 6.5wsm & 264wm are 8gr bigger again.. You don't choose these cartridges for barrel life, or accuracy, but purely for power. GA Precision can build guns in 6.5saum that are accurate enough(for tactical), even way past peak accurate barrel life. They've worked it all out. So if I were choosing an overbore 26cal, I'd just go ahead and cut a check to GAP for turn-key 6.5saum. Otherwise, I would avoid anything larger than 260AI(perfect capacity/Lapua brass) in 26cal. Just opinion of course [/QUOTE]
