[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2133147, member: 8873"] I expect 300-500 more from this barrel, but I haven’t been exactly nice to it. I doubt the 37XC is as hard on the barrel, not quite as overbore. I would say my 33XC and .375 Snipetac are probably closer: a .375 cal being pushed by 155 grains of RL50, and a .338 cal pushed by 123 of the same powder. As for my current barrel, I’m not too concerned with barrel life. It’s a $150 Wilson from my gunsmith that was a last minute effort to get this rifle going before a debacle of an elk hunt. Its been a chore to find a load for but think I may have found something it really likes. Here are 4 shots at 100. Have a carbon waiting for this one to keel over. [/QUOTE]
