[QUOTE="Window, post: 2632515, member: 88485"] That’s a good question and I’ll share my experience after a few years of running them in me hunting rigs. As I’ve stated before I’m a Weatherby nut and hunt primarily with overbore cartridges. I have one 30-378 that’s on its 3rd barrel. Shooting the heavy Sierras and Bergers, the first two barrels lasted just over 1200 rounds. Firecracking stated in both between 100 to 150 rounds but accuracy held to well over 1000 rounds with significant throat erosion. Barrel number three has exclusively shot 181 HH’s and has just over 800 rounds and the accuracy is still exceptional. In fairness, I don’t run any of mine to max load and always try to find the middle node if at all possible. At 800 plus rounds, using the bore scope, I can’t tell you if it’s any better or any worse. Time will tell and I’ll certainly share the final results in a year or so. [/QUOTE]
