[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1738244, member: 26535"] This is correct but I do not know anyone who goes out and spends a day to shoot 40 rounds. I do know there are people who do it due mostly to drive times but I do not know any. To shoot well enough to take game at long distances it requires practice and that takes rounds down the barrel. Unless you are letting the barrel cool 5-10 min between shots your throat is heating up and that is expediting erosion. I am not overly hard on my hunting barrels but I can tell you none of them is going to be shooting under .5 moa for more than 1200 rounds and I would say the number is closer to 900-1000. When barrels stop shooting they often start throwing fliers. I am not going to be on a hunt with a 1k round rifle with a tag that took 8 years to draw just to squeeze the extra 100 rounds of what some would call barrel life out of it. If it is only for target shooting then you really have nothing to lose by shooting it until it is no kidding done. [/QUOTE]
