[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2132506, member: 116181"] How you shoot them is going to be more important than total count. Run them in 3-5 shot groups with some time between shots and the barrel cooling between groups, and you'll have a happy long barrel life. If you run bolt drills and shoot all 40 rounds in 5 mins, you're going to have a bad time. 30-06 isn't a fire breather that will crack your barrel in 500 rounds like some overbore magnums, but you can trash any barrel if you try. If you can find one right now, get a 22LR or 17HMR, some kind of rimfire to shoot in between groups. I have some lightweight sporter barrels that are done after 3 shots, and I don't have to sit around doing nada if I have a rimfire with me. [/QUOTE]
