[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2076416, member: 99039"] Depends on how hard you drive it, if you use H1000 you will have a longer barrel life, if you use N570 you are going to have a shorter barrel life. I have used H1000, Retumbo and mainly RL33 in mine. I was not easy with loading in the beginning, I was chasing everyone else loads for speed, until I reached the 3050 to 3100fps with a Berger 195. A year and half later with a little over 250 rounds down the barrel, I received a bore scope and the throat has some fire cracking and about 1/8th inch of rifling gone. I have not shot it going on two years now, have a few other rifles I have been playing with, but just keep in mind the harder you drive it the shorter of barrel life you will have. It is a sweet cartridge to tune up and take out for long runs. [/QUOTE]
