[QUOTE="liltank, post: 624801, member: 13275"] It's kind of a standard for a magnum that size. Because you use a large amount of powder with a smaller diameter bullet, the pressure and heat created in firing can really do damage to the lands. It's one of those things that can be more or less than what I suggest. It depends on bullet, cleaning regimen, and load pressures. You use lighter powder charges and not push the max loading you may go 2000-2500 rounds. You use heavy charges and light bullets, you will probably only get 800-1000rnds. You use a standard load with a standard bullet, then you should get between 1500-2000rnds. Accuracy is what you want it to be also. These numbers correlate to.... say a consistent .2-.3 MOA accuracy. As your barrel wears, you will see a steady drop off in accuracy to .75-1 MOA of accuracy. Some are gradual, other might be a abrupt. It's mostly speculation, but time has shown that 1500-2000rnds is the standard for good honest accuracy in this caliber. It is all determined by the barrel materials used also. There are so many different variables that will determine the longevity of a barrel. [/QUOTE]
