That were one of Gomer Pyle's favorite sayings... Just sayin. 
When its time to fight, you fight like you are the third monkey on the ramp to get on Noah's Arc... and brother, it is starting to rain!

What Bullet? What are your build specs? What kind of velocities are you seeing?

Wow! That is impressive especially the hybrid jackets holding up to that much speed.

What is the twist, what powder are you using?
How many rounds do you shoot before it requires cleaning? I played with a 6mm-264 and discovered the fouling built up very quickly causing changes in performance. It was an experiment with a rechambered 26" Remington takeoff 243 barrel. Realize a new Bartlein would work better......
I remember Ross Seyfried making a 6mm-264 and having an issue with a hard carbon like substance building up on the first barrel due to not cleaning it every dozen rounds or so. IIRC he had to throw away that first barrel.
Nothing like a fast 6mm. Currently have two 6mm-284s. One shoots the 105 Berger @ 3425 fps, 26" barrel Other a lightweight varminter shoots the 55 gr ballistic tip @ 4100 fps.
You have created a true velocity monster with incredible downrange performance! Almost a ton of energy at 500 yds with wind drift 8.1" at same distance in 10 mph crosswind! (4000 ft)

I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

What is the twist, what powder are you using? 7.25" twist. Currently using H-1000, but I did try R-26. How many rounds do you shoot before it requires cleaning? I played with a 6mm-264 and discovered the fouling built up very quickly causing changes in performance. It was an experiment with a rechambered 26" Remington takeoff 243 barrel. Realize a new Bartlein would work better. I remember Ross Seyfried making a 6mm-264 and having an issue with a hard carbon like substance building up on the first barrel due to not cleaning it every dozen rounds or so. IIRC he had to throw away that first barrel. While I haven't stretched this one too far, I have no problem running a bunch of rounds between cleanings. I do shoot moly plated bullets, but don't have any problems keeping this one clean with my normal routine of Bore Tech Eliminator and a little JB every time. I have a Hawkeye borescope, so I know what works. Nothing like a fast 6mm. Currently have two 6mm-284s. One shoots the 105 Berger @ 3425 fps, 26" barrel Other a lightweight varminter shoots the 55 gr ballistic tip @ 4100 fps.
You have created a true velocity monster with incredible downrange performance! Almost a ton of energy at 500 yds with wind drift 8.1" at same distance in 10 mph crosswind! (4000 ft) I've had two or three 6-284's with 8 twists in the past, so I knew what I was getting into.

That’s so nice I’ll put in first dibs on the barreled action. Be a heller of an antelope and mule deer killer....
