[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2039950, member: 10429"] That's what everybody has said usually 1500 to 2000. I would say this is more of what you may see in a bench rest match rifle before someone may say its effecting accuracy; but I don't know. For me, I put over 4700 rounds through mine. Mine shot at .5MOA. At or around 4300 the groups started opening up and it seem I had to clean it about every 20 rounds. I was really cleaning the throat a lot. I know its hard to believe but I went through about 5 boxes of Lapua brass. I would reload each case 10 times and then toss. I probably shot every 2 weeks if not every week. It was always fun shooting and just seeing how consistent this gun shot. Nothing special about the gun, it was a savage 116 stainless steel, 24 inch barrel, which I put a 20MOA rail on and a Zeiss 4.5x14x50 conquest scope. I shot Berger 140 VLD's with fed M210 primes. I was loading the 100V at I think 49 grains. During the summer this load had to be backed off since it always showed pressure on this rifle very early. The 49 grains made 2870fps on average. I dont know if you ever seen the kill reel from Best Of The West but I think its a whole video using the 6.5X284 Norma and the 143 ELDX making some long range shots on just about all the north American game.
