"According to Lony at Hornady longer necks allow barrels to last up to twice as long. He bases that on the load development and benchrest competition with a .22-243 and a .22-6Rem.
Is that important?"
Probably not for me,, I'll put max, a hundred rounds a year through this one, perhaps more if I just love shooting it,,, but I have to make a trip to shoot past 300 yards.
