[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 806227, member: 11717"] If you go back and read my post I said nothing about the 7 RUM. I was talking about the 300 RUM. The 7 RUM is more overbore than the STW which is more overbore than the 300 RUM which is about the same as a 7 RM. Overbore = case volume to bore diameter ratio. If you got 1500 rounds through an STW, then you're doing great. Are you promising the same to the OP? Are you going to buy him a new barrel if he cooks his in 800 rounds? I have read reports on the 7 RUM burning barrels at about the 500 round mark and the 300 RUM at about the 1000 round mark. All else being equal, the STW will most likely be somewhere between and it will certainly not last as long as a 7 RM on average if shooting the same type of loads through them, i.e., high pressure, high velocity. Feed them slow powder and big bullets with mild loads and you'll get more life. [/QUOTE]
