[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 989251, member: 5219"] This barrel would be a poor one for judging how long a 300 RUM barrel lasts. It was listed on Lila's site with a reduced price. It is a 27" SS #5 fluted with a 1 in 12 twist. I first used it as a 30 BR putting 450 rounds through it. Then I had it made into a 300 RUM and added a VAIS brake. It has an additional 673 rounds through it when I pulled it off. It definitely takes time to clean but still shot quite accurately. I removed it to put on a 24" rechambered 300 win mag barrel to try the new 230 berger when I realized I had forgotten that the Lilja didn't have enough twist for the 230. I just got out the bore scope and inspected the old barrel. It has cracks and crazing for about 9 inches up the barrel. Throat has what looks like tiny chips removed from the surface of lands and grooves. Not sure I will ever use it again. I Am saving it should I get a wild urge to make it a 338 EDGE. Dan Pederson could re-rifle it for far less than buying a new fluted #5 SS barrel. Last load I tried in it for grins was the Berger 168 Classic hybrid with RL-22. It used to shoot the 168 Sierra MK at 3550 with 95 gr of RL-22 back in Oct 2008. Got up to 96 gr of RL-22 with 3530 fps. The current 24" rem takeoff is getting 2975 with 100 gr of RL-33 and the 230 gr match target hybrid. The rifle is very handy to carry for my elk hunts I see no reason to change it. [/QUOTE]
