Dans40X - I've been looking at this cartridge for awhile, but have not heard anyone talk about barrel life. Not that I'm afraid to burn out a barrel or two when its truly needed (I shoot 7WSM and 6.5x284), I would just like to know what to expect. IF 2,500 - 3,000 rounds is routine, I'm all over this cartridge, potentially its bigger AI cousin.
gene,thats impressive,i been looking at a pac-nor barrel for my 250.just to many good longer shots in the desert that i cant shoot with the factory barrel.
I have a .22-250, but had I known at the time what a good cartridge the .22BR is, I would have chosen it over the .22-250. Or....I might have gone with a 6mmBR.
