[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 221001, member: 4885"] I shot out a barrel in 7RM. It was a stainless factory barrel made in the sixties (one of the first Rem 700's built). I had more than 4000 rounds through it, but absolutely no rapid fire. I also had to keep seating the bullets out farther and farther. I used entirely flat base bullets (if that makes a difference). Accuracy was alway under 1MOA, until one day it went to about 5 MOA and nothing I could do with reloads would fix it. It's only one data point, don't know how relevant it is to you. It might be the only 7RM that ever existed that got that much barrel life. I never used a brush on it (just solvent and patches). AJ [/QUOTE]
