[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 68093, member: 2245"] Ive shot out 3 barrels now in 30-06 using Hornady Light Magnum, running between 2820FPS and 2900 ish. noticed a definate accuracy fall off at around 4500 rds with all 3 barrels. Never let them get to hot, no matches and no long strings, purely hunting and range practice. My guess is you will get 1/3 less than that or worse if you are constantly gettinmg barrels hot with long strings. Just shoot it until the accuracy goes, order a new barrel when you get to between 2000 and 2500 rds and it will be ready to fit when you have shot the old one out Pete [/QUOTE]
