The Seeker 3,048 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I got the varmint heavy barrel for both my HMR and 6.5x55, why? because they were the right price when I bought them. Some people complain about them being too heavy to carry round a field all day but I've never found it a problem (maybe they should eat more weatabix) The main advantage from a centre fire is you get get more rounds through the rifle before it gets too hot, but this isn't too much of a problem with the HMR, so it all depends on your circumstances really.
