Thread: 6.5-284 barrel length

Just bringing this thread back to life. The 6.5-284 interests me as it is something a bit different to the standard. Ballistically, very similar to the 6.5PRC, however, I like something a bit different. Things I'd like to know, is barrel length - can you get away with a 22" barrel, or is 24"+ needed.
Barrel wear - I've read that accuracy comes at around 800-1000 rounds max
Is it worth building over a .260, Creed, or PRC?

Keen to hear your thoughts out of interest.

Thanks
