i am interested in the 6.5x284 for hunting... hoping a barrel could last well past 1000 rounds...


By way of comparison, Does the long neck of the .25'06, or .270Win lead to longer throat life ?
Does the shallow tapered shoulder of these cases detract ? ( 17.5 degrees vs 30 or 40 degrees )

IOW : What case design features lead to longer throat life in high capacity -- smaller bore cartridges

High pressure causes higher temperatures which don't help throat longevity. also, Quick firing of long strings without cooling.

I like to practice follow up shots from field positions. 1st for accuracy, with 2 or 3 follow up/finishers delivered dynamically.
