[QUOTE="north of 53, post: 356438, member: 8510"] I have 22-250 AI that is on its second barrel. Built the gun from a 22-250 788 that I was my first rifle over 30 years ago. I shot it for years and put over 4000 rounds through the original barrel. Mostly shooting 50 and 55 grain bullets at around 3700. Now I may have put over 4000 rounds through the gun I think it was well past its prime at 3000 and when I finally had it re barreled it was washed right out. I had it re-barreled and chambered in a 22-250 AI with a 1:8 twist. I shoot 75 grain bullets at 3400 now and I got 2500 rounds out of the first barrel and it was still just over a one inch gun when I changed it. I changed it because it was under a 1/2" gun when the barrel was new and that's what I wanted it to be again and now with the new barrel it is. So as for barrel life on a new 22-250 with a standard 1:14 twist you should be able to get close to 3000 rounds if you look after it. Having said that if you take it to a prairie dog town and heat it up you can take the barrel out in one outing of under 500 rounds. [/QUOTE]
