All;

Man this is what I was hoping would not happen, consider another cartridge.

The 6.5-270WSAM has me intrigued, but are you saying without treating the barrel it will burn out in 500-600 shots? Have you heard anything about using Dyna Bore Guide for treating barrels?

I don't think I am into super speed but I can see how the 6.5-270WSM would have inherent accuracy. Could I do the 6.5-270WSM and not load it so hot. My target bullet weight would be 130 grains in either Accubond, Interbond, or Scirocco. I would probably use the same bullet from rockchucks to big game to learn the ballistics and I wouldn't have to second guess different trajectories.

Thanks all for the info and confusion with the different options.

I am still looking for a donor action, I have a 110 270win I could use if I have to but I kind of like it. I won't tell you guys about an older immaculate 110 270win (looked NIB) gun I could have bought last year for $200 but turned it down for not knowing what I know now.
