[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1992966, member: 38048"] 257wby is absolutely not a barrel eater. Unless your idea is 1000 rounds of life is a barrel eater. That long neck and the shoulder shape make sure the gas isn't torching the throat. I've owned over a dozen Bees and built way more than that and I have never had one die with less than a 1000 and a few got close to 1500. That's the same life I get from my 6.5 Creed, 6BRs, 6ppcs and 6slr compatition barrels. Those barrels still have a little life left but can't compete. Just don't shoot long strings and let it cool. It's been my favorite hunting round for more than 30 yrs. This is the first year I won't be using one because I'm going with a 6.5saum. But there will always be some 257wbys in my rack. Shep [/QUOTE]
