[QUOTE="Jokostel, post: 1185180, member: 39379"] The only barrel I have truthfully torched beyond belief was a Ruger #1 stainless in 243 win. The round count was around 788 rounds and she went from a 1/2moa weapon to a 3 minute weapon... in about 5 rounds. It was VIOLENT. Granted- I did baby it for a while, but this was used as a varmint rifle that had shot strings at prairie dogs that were 12-25 rounds back to back. Not very decent for barrel life. Cleaning habits were sound IMO... however, I WAS running 46gr of I7828 on a 100 grain Sierra or a 95 CT, with a 210M... both shot same POI... oddly enough. So I had MANY factors against me... warm load, and long shot strings. Ruger has also been known to have "soft barrels"... [/QUOTE]
