I dont know, my dad shot one out but he shot everything from ground squirles to elk with it. all with a 100speer soft point. not the greatest elk bullet but it killed him.

Just wondering what the typical lifespan of a .270 barrel is?

my 270 generallly stays in during the week and goes out on the weekends when it can afford it. my 270 also will shoot about 1/2" at 200 yrds and has about 5000 rounds through it. it's still going strong.
It mostly depends on what you consider the life span (how much accuracy loss you will tolerate) and how the person takes care of it. Some people will never clean it and let it go. Others care for them like they were their own children.

I had a douglas barrel on a 270 WIN for 30 years. In its early days 500 rounds a month at jack rabbits was typical for 3 or 4 months a year. Plus much chuck and coyote hunting and the typical amount of paper punchings. Was shooting hot loads exclusively and I'd estimate well over 3000 but not near 5000 rounds. When it went to pot it went all at once. Never noticed any loss of accuracy until "one day". Then looked down the bore. What a horrible site for about 3 inches.
