[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2929134, member: 109862"] Considering that a .257 weatherby can outlive that I’d say you’re right. But I do need to ask….what exactly entails a rifle barrel having “went”? Cuz for some folks that’s a .25 moa barrel opening up to .75 moa. For others the barrel, ammo, and operator were never capable of that to begin with (I generally fall into the latter category). I feel that when some folks say their 257 wby or 7 stw were burned out in 500 rounds and others say that’s all nonsense and they’re at 1500 rounds and still hunting successfully it has to be more about individual standards of acceptable accuracy than about differences in individual barrels. That and how they’re run of course. Keep shooting any fire breather cartridge when the barrel is too hot to touch and you’ll do this to yourself. [/QUOTE]
