The 6.5 Bee

[Guy Miner]

To quote the GREAT Elmer Keith, "To heck with efficiency, it's performance we want!". And I so concur!

How many members here have an inefficient calibered rifle and how many barrels have you swapped over how many years?

Mostly I shoot a very efficient rifle cartridge, the .308 Win, and I'm on my fourth barrel. Fifth? Can't remember... They've lasted 4,000 - 6,000 rounds before accuracy fell off. The 4000 round barrel was the Remington - and it may have had more than that. The Kriegers have all gone at least 5,000 rounds before X-Ring accuracy started suffering enough to bring down my scores.

I can't remember ever re-barreling a true hunting rifle...
