[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 365492, member: 7999"] Just curious, how many shots per year do you take hunting? I know that if I shot a rifle (any cal) just for hunting it would last for generations. I hear this barrel life thing a lot in respect to hunting rifles. Even the worst of the barrel burners would last 8 to 10 years if fired 100 times per year. Hear in MT I shoot about 6 animals per year. I realize there are some professional hunters that shoot hundreds of animals per year, but I don't think this is representative of the average hunter. My opinion is get the hot rod cal of your choosing run it up hot and use it for what it was designed for. If you want to shoot 7 mag velocities out of a 7 RUM because you are afraid to burn up the barrel, then you should have a 7 mag. Steve PS. I am not aiming at Forrest here just commenting in general.
