and I would (have, actually) run a 264 Win mag on such an action. If I was building a short action 6.5, it would be a 6.5x284 all the way. So WHAT if the barrel is burned out in 800 rounds. I don't think it would be anywhere that short but if it was that is still a lot of shooting for a hunting rifle.

Pretty sure that good new 6.5 barrels are being made every day.
