28 nosler- extreme pressure with 1x fired brass

It's not on their website.It's part of a personal email exchange I had with Mark at
Bartlein. I was going to order a barrel but I didn't...

did they basically say the barrel live was 800ish.....definitely less than 1000 rds?

He never gave a set number? He just said keep an eye on it.
And keep it clean..I decided to look for something longer lived..

I spec my Nosler reamers a little different due to the Redding S-die not sizing the base enough. Usually the problem is the opposite, not enough sizing. Take before and after measurements at the shoulder and just above the extractor groove. I normally see the s-die squeeze the shoulder .003" and the base .0005"

This is good information as well as you could be getting a clicker at the top of the bolt opening that may be incorrectly interpreted as pressure, a smaller base die would probably fix this.
