[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 194913, member: 4557"] If you got between 2000 and 3000 rounds out of your barrel, I would say that's good with the 280 Rem. Most of the calibers I like and shoot all have short barrel lives. When I say short barrel lives, I am talking about 1200 to 1500 rounds out of a custom barrel. I am thinking the 280 Rem, with a factory barrel, will probably get about 2500 rounds out of it. I bet with a custom barrel, your round count will go up before you see an accuracy decline. Anyhow, it sounds like your ready for a new barrel. If your going to stay with the 280 Rem, I would look at 1-9 twist Lilja barrel. Let us know what you decide. W. [/QUOTE]
