What do you guys all have to say about barrel life on a 300RUM? Can I get 1000rds out of it if I take somewhat descent care of it? When I say somewhat, I mean, regular cleaning and watching for barrel cooling? I have even heard of guys using ball powders because it is suppose to burn cooler.
It will be a hunting rifle so I am not looking for anything more than 1000rds I guess.
If I was gonna guess I would say the factory barrel has no chance at 1000, but if I were to rebarrel with a quality barrel, I could maybe reach it.
