[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 185131, member: 2567"] dgr416, Have you looked at your 338-378 barrel with a bore scope? Have you measured your throat errosion to see how it is wearing? I am currious to see if different barrels are showing more/less errosion in these large capacity cartridges. What is the expected barrel life with a quality barrel when shooting max. loads? I don't buy into the idea of down loading a big magnum to make the barrel last longer. If I wanted to shoot the bullet slower, I would use a smaller cartridge. I have also just learned about several local shooters shooting 338 lapua mags that have shot out their barrels in 150 rounds. Is this normal or are we getting some inferior barrel materials? [/QUOTE]
