I think the Creedmoor barrel will last a lot better than some of the other 6.5s. I have torched two 6.5-284 barrels in the past 7-8 years. One has about 750-800 and the other 1000 ish. R17 was the culprit in my opinion. I try not to use R17 in high volume stuff anymore. Most guys will never wear a barrel out, If you really do, just put another one on it. Only time it is a big issue is if you are shooting matches regularly and wear one out mid season when you don't have time to fit another one.
