[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1387061, member: 12995"] That I don't know, I never got that far with my .257 Wby... The barrel started caving in around 75 rounds (manufacturer's defect) and was shooting 2-3 MOA by 200-250 rounds, so I called it done, and stuffed it in the safe for a few years, and I won't go into the rest of the story. But, I think most .257 Wby's run around 1,000-1,200 rounds of accurate barrel life. Like I said, if that's a cartridge you want, go for it. I wasn't trying to dissuade you from purchasing one, I have just seen a lot of folks talking about them and not realizing just how short of a barrel life it will have. That was one of the few things Nosler purposely left out of their advertisements, because it's hard to justify a cartridge with that short of a barrel life to the general public, no matter how impressive the ballistics are.
