    Is RL17 a barrel burner?

    I'm thinking about upping the game with my dirty old .284 which apart from a trip to Stewart Island, its basically gone unused for far too long.

    "Mr Google" says that RL17 is basically the New black, when it comes to .284 performance. This sounds almost to good to be true, the velocities quoted online where faster than my 7mmwsm! So if RL17 is this fast - what's the cost? Is it barrel life?

    Anyone got first hand experience, how many shots fired, what barrel length, load details, velocities...

    Many thanks in advance
