[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1547230, member: 103996"] While a known barrel burner, 20% would mean a barrel life of 500 rounds! They definitely get more than that. My ridgeline didn’t lose accuracy til 830 rounds, and stayed moa until about 890. Although low barrel life, that’s the cost of performance. It’s not just a 28 Nosler thing, it’s a magnum cartridge thing. Anything that burns a lot of powder and pushes bullets 3000+ FPS is going to have a barrel life of 1300 rounds or less in average barrels, it comes with the territory. Ryan pierce told me that most of his 28 Nosler customers were getting 950 and some were getting 1200 out of their barrels, albeit those are very high quality barrels with long freebore, but still. Even the 300 rum only has a life of 800-1200 rounds. And it’s not considered a fad, just a heavy 30 cal magnum. The rum is to the 30 cal what the Nosler is to the 28. Just about as fast as you can get it without being completely unreasonable. I’d argue the 7mm rum is unreasonable but I think a lot of people would say otherwise. [/QUOTE]
