[QUOTE="MallardAddict, post: 2364877, member: 3830"] Keep velocities sane, shoot cool burning powder, allow it time to cool between rounds and don’t go crazy with the throating and it should last +/- 1000 rds. I’ve owned several 28 noslers now and the one I had the longest was on its third barrel when I sold it. I shot out the first barrel in a little over 850 rds shooting n570 and R33 with 195’s vld’s at 3150 fps and not giving it much time between rounds at the range. The second barrel had less throating to let me chase the lands longer and saw only 180 vld’s with Retumbo at right around 3175. I was careful with that barrel and always had atleast 2 minutes between rounds at the range and I got right at 1100 rds out of it before it quit shooting 1/2 moa. I’ve had 2 since then and always ran pretty much the same 180 vld/Retumbo load as it was plenty for my needs and fairly gentle on the barrel. Well as gentle as a 180 gr bullet pushed by 80 grs of powder could be. There is no free lunch with the big 7’s and barrels are a disposable commodity for them. [/QUOTE]
