Pullet:
Regarding the barrel life of a 6mm-284. I wore out a 5R Bartlein 30" 1 in 7.5 twist right around 1000 rounds and it wasn't used in competition. Three shots at most then cooled. Barrel life is short.
I cut off 5" from the chamber end and threaded and rechambered and it is once again shooting but lost some velocity. Had always heard of guys doing it and it worked. Don't think this fix will last for long.
Top velocities with that 30" barrel were very close to 3500 fps with a 105 Berger. Shorter barrel performance was mentioned earlier in this thread.
