[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 947961, member: 2736"] As stated , Barrel life can vary quite a bit based on the type and amount of powder used, the type of bullet and velocity used and the quality of the barrel and its care. I used up a barrel in less than 1000 rounds but still have a rifle that shoots 1/2 MOA all day with over 22,000 rounds. I treat all of my barrels with great care and find that some just quit early and others just seem to keep on keeping on. With your load and good care you should get 3,000+ accurate shouts from the barrel but you may see a lot more before the barrel is used up. People put to much emphasis on barrel life and should just take care of there barrel and enjoy what they like to shoot, and when the time comes replace it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
