Thread: Howa 6.5 creedmoor magazine length

I will unleash 8, 9, 10 shots on a mob of goats one after the other, few pauses in between of course to reload, or wait for the mob to stop running, range checking, whatever, and the barrel will be fairly warm, but never hot. Nowhere remotely close to how hot a sporter contour barrel would be. No discernible shift in POI which I’d be able to tell at 500m I reckon. For that reason alone its worth the extra weight. I accept that barrels are a consumable and don’t worry about it.
