[QUOTE="11 Charlie, post: 954658, member: 80172"] I think 426 rounds about does it. Just kidding, of course. I don't have one myself so I've never burned a barrel out of one but just recently I was reading a bunch of posts addressing just that as I was curious about the life of my .300 WBY. The consensus seemed to be the biggest problem for barrel life was shooting it hot with no cool down, then keeping it clean and well maintained. 1500 or so rounds seemed to be stated quite a bit. I am sure someone with first hand experience will chime in. You've got a sweet rifle and it sounds like it still has a large majority of its barrel life left.:cool: [/QUOTE]
