[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1220646, member: 20438"] Barrel life / throat erosion is about two things, pressure and temperature. Keep loads at normal pressures and barrels will last a long time. Run them hard to get an extra 100-150 fps and you will cook the throat in a short amount of time. My factory 7STW went 1400+ ( I don't remember exact round count off the top of my head ) and I ran some loads very warm when I didn't know better. It has now started life over as a 28 Nosler and I hope to get 1800 with the Bartlein barrel. [/QUOTE]
