[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 860610, member: 48420"] I have a number of cases that are on their tenth, or nearing it. The five or six I mentioned I meant as an average of all the calibers I shoot. I shoot about 15 different calibers ranging from the smallest, a 22-243 Middlestead, to a Remington .338 ultra mag, including several wildcats, my all-time favorite rifle, a semi-custom .257 STW. That's a fabulous caliber, and following the directions I got from the builder, I have fired about 500 rounds through it with no loss of accuracy. Fast cartridges will always wear out faster than slow ones, common sense tells you that, but there are things you can do to make barrel burners last a long time. My rifle builder said that I could expect about 2000 rounds through the .257 before I would start to see a serious loss of accuracy. The 22-243 will most likely not last that long due to the difficulty getting small bores squeaky clean. [/QUOTE]
