[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 927155, member: 12995"] I would go 7mm RemMag... You can get 1,500+ rounds out of a 7mm RM barrel, if you take care of it. That's alot of burnt powder and slung lead... At an average of 70gr of powder per round, that's 105,000 grains of powder burnt in 1500 rounds. With an average of 7,000 grains of powder per pound, that's 15 pounds of powder burnt through 1 barrel. That's ALOT of trigger time. LOL some folks get 2,000-2,500 rounds out of one if you take really good care and have it melonited, you could probably go 3,000. Of course, these are just estimstes, guessing barrel life on any gun is about like guessing how many fish are in the ocean...Nobody will ever know, and there might be more, might be less. But there's only 1 way to find out. I say go for the new Remington 700 Long Range in 7mm RM. Already comes with a 26" 1:9 twist heavy barrel, and a B&C Medalist stock. For the money, it's about the best deal around, that I have found. [/QUOTE]
