[QUOTE="Tidus56, post: 1783958, member: 104495"] The "burning barrel" argument seems odd to me in a dedicated hunting rifle. Assuming you need 50 rounds to do load development and another 50 to dope your rifle you'd still have lots of barrel life if you only did get 500 rounds. I think 500 seems silly but I hear I will only get a max of 800 out of my 28. But I digress, so assuming you have 400 rounds left that should last a shooter many hunting seasons. Now for the normal argument "you need to practice and become proficient". Sure I get that, but you can do that with a 223, 6mm, 6.5 or .308 insert you cartridge preference. Then come hunting season 10 down the tube of the boomer before the season and you're good. I have never seen hunters more concerned about barrel life than on this forum. [/QUOTE]
