[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1508809, member: 10755"] My first barrel I ever burnt out was a Rem 700 BDL from 1971, a year after my birth, it was NIB when I bought it in 1990, UNFIRED by the deceased owner. I burnt that barrel out in 18 months using Hornady 25gr HP’s at a blistering 4163fps fired over my chrony. I was shooting rabbits, foxes, goats, pigs and hares for paid vermin control, I had a VSF 700 in 22-250 as well that was shot out 6 months later. In those 2 years, I fired in excess of 5,000 rounds through those barrels. I was impressed with both barrels lives. My first 300WM barrel didn’t last 1200 rounds, I shot it hard and fast, so I am to blame. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
