[QUOTE="cardon1122, post: 2260310, member: 89782"] A good friend has had one for year’s. It’s his favorite gun for hunting large game. He only uses it for hunting and the original barrel is holding up fine. It still shoots 1 MOA to a little better. He doesn’t hand load so I load them for him. I anneal the cases and have had no problems with the brass after several loadings except for the primer pockets. On about half his cases the pockets are slowly expanding, some faster than others. Each time I load, I have to discard about 5% of his cases because the pockets are too loose. I think he bought the gun shortly after it came out and was buying shells as he needed them over a number of years. I saw someone said the early brass wasn’t great and later brass is better. That may be why some are loosening up and some are holding up okay. Sending large bullets down range at varmint bullet speed does make for great ballistics! [/QUOTE]
