[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1222022, member: 1521"] I'm sure you know this but I'll review. Barrel life is different from accurate barrel life, which is deeper than typical anecdotal surveys produce. For one, most shooters never reach best potential in a barrel to begin. So they don't detect loss in accuracy with any precision. Then you have the extremes, guesses, anomalies to filter past.. There is also use(shot rate), cleaning, load pressure, powder amount & powder burn temps. I have a coworker that had brought in many wallet groups from his 25-06. They were very impressive(<1/4moa) & he was really getting into it. At ~750rnds his grouping took a step change, then the tail chasing, then the gained awareness about group shooting over-bores and barrel life. The gun would still shoot 1/2moa for quite a while I'm sure, but he wasn't used to that & didn't like it shooting so bad. This was a case where a shooter could precisely detect departure in results. When he shot his groups, he fired fast & then let the bore cool, but it's not a good idea to shoot a 25-06 at a fast rate -ever. My prediction, normal use: [/QUOTE]
