22 vs 24 inch 6.5 Grendel Velocities.....

[Randy99CL]

As for as the Creedmore is concerned I was hot for one until I read that the estimated barrel life was 2 to 3 thousand rounds. The .260 Rem is a little better but still a barrel burner compared to Grendel's 8 to 10 thousand round life expectancy. When I want to just go shooting, I do not want to worry about 'is this the last time it will shoot accurately?'

Do you really worry about that??
Lots of people shooting 6.5CM and I've never heard it called a "barrel burner". I don't read the same articles you do. Do people complain about .243 Win burning barrels? Same powder capacity, smaller bore diameter.

I'm not worried about it, it will take a few years for me to fire that many rounds even if the estimate is accurate.
