[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 837211, member: 12995"] I said I pretty much got called one. Didn't say it was ever blatently said. Once again, who's to say someone treats the barrel 100% proper to achieve maximum round count, or just wants a new one so they burn that one down? Sorry, I'm not a very trusting person when it comes to my money in someone else's hands. Like I said, I can burn a magnum barrel in 150 rounds IF I really wanted to. It's not hard to do. So why would I put my money in someone else's hands, that I don't know, and get nothing in return? Everything in our sport is taking a risk. And you could take 2 identical barrels shot identically for idential round counts with identical loads, and they won't wear out at the same exact time... Nothing man-made is perfect and 100% guaranteed. Plus, knowing my luck, he'd get a bad one and burn it out. Let's turn the tables a minute.......Why don't you "put your money where you mouth is" and bet Lefty that he can't make one last 1,500 rounds? Since you are so self-assured that they won't possibly. I would say bet me, but I don't make much money, so I can't afford to shoot that many rounds very quickly...I have other bills that are more important than worrying about proving a point. :cool: Same exact reason why I won't guarantee the OP anything. Too many extra factors playing into things. Like I said before, everyone I've ever talked to that had an STW for any extended length that did alot of shooting said they should last 1,500 rounds. But what do I know...I've only studied the cartridge and had mine for 11 years, and I still haven't shot it out. Not to mention, Lefty's rifle got 1,500 rounds on one of his STW barrels. He's never lied to me before. What do I have to disprove it, other than people's opinions and experiences. Everyone has different ones, that's what makes the world go round. [/QUOTE]
