[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 733969, member: 2460"] a good barrel is only $300 -$400, if a fella can't afford that, get a cartridge that will allow several thousand rounds and quit messin with the ones that barely make 1 k, every forum you go on guys are whining about barrel life of a certain cartridge, simple : don't use it I just necked down the 300 Norma Mag to 6.5, gave it a longer neck and a 35 degree shoulder, that will "maybe" last 800 rnds but will provide some screaming 6.5 mm ballistics at 3600-3700 fps with a 140 gr bullet, you want performance you gotta give something up somewhere, not trying to start a fire here, just the whole "barrel life" issue should be put to rest, if you know it's gonna burn you, you should know better than to touch it [/QUOTE]
