[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 428997, member: 12514"] Kirby, Thank you very much for the info. It seems I am on the right track with my rig. Now the big question, what kinda of barrel life can I expect from my 338 LAI? I do baby this rifle. I have never shot more than 3 shots, 1-2 minutes apart. I let the barrel cool down comletely before shooting another string. I am purely guessing but I am hoping for 1500-2000 rounds. How far am I off? May not be able to reply until Monday, I leave for Antelope hunting in about an hour :D. This will be my biggest test this year. I shot a bear last week at 523 yards. one shot trap doored him. Hoping for a little further this weekend. We have 10 tags here in Colorado. [/QUOTE]
