[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1391986, member: 2736"] Barrel life has so many different causes, that I have never been able to predict when with any real accuracy, so I just let the barrel tell me when and move on. I have pushed some barrels hard and still had a wide range of firings with these before accuracy failure. (As few as 400 rounds to as many as 3,000. I have also had barrels that were not loaded hard that also had seen a wide range of shots before the accuracy fell off. Good maintenance and common sense firing seemed to prolong all of these barrels. There is also the unexplained barrels that should have given up after 3 or 4,000 rounds, that accuracy is still good at 20 to 30,000 rounds. So even though barrel life is of great concern, I don't worry about when it will happen, gust if I can prolong it. Most barrels will give you a lifetime of good service if you take good care of them, and if they don't, except it, re barrel or move on. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
