Teal, I've done some light research on a 6.5 WSM, and I have read that it can be a bit of a barrel burner. Of course, these were guys using it for match rifles, so that probably comes into play. For a hunting rifle, I can't see that it would make that much difference. You aren't going to shoot long strings to heat up the throat. Heck, it's basically a .264 Win Mag, right?
