[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1215688"] That's a fine idea. No wait, strike that, consider the barrel a consumable. Do your calculations on the costs of each round fired with replacing the barrel in mind. 223 and 308 are very low on the barrel burner scale. Barrels can last 2500 to 40,000 rounds (military style chrome lined). Cost of the barrel life per round fired $0.001? Barrel cost of a 6.5/300Wby, 26 Nosler, 7STW, 7RUM can be $1.00 per round. I prefer to look at it that way. What will be the barrel cost of my 50 Euro/DTC? A round will be in the $5 and up range. Adding another $1.00 to that is not an issue. I am considering labeling a bunch of coffee cans for each barrel. Put the money for the barrel in the can when I make up loads. A realistic approach to saving up for barrels. [/QUOTE]
