[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2008725, member: 38048"] Well powder choice and how hard you run them play a huge role in barrel life. Even the little very efficient 6ppc and 6 br eat barrels when run hard like in match barrels. So really the answer is to keep an eye on throat erosion and then chase it after it starts moving. On my match rifles I don't see much of any movement till around 700 rounds. At that point I set them back and redo the chamber to a fresh throat. Then I run them till they are dead. I get around 2000 rounds this way and stay competitive. I've put a bunch of my 2000 round barrels on varmint guns and got another 1500 rounds from them. My best kreiger I ever had has around 5000 rounds on it. It's been rechambered 4 times now and is only 26 inches long in a 6bra and it still shoots 1/4 moa in local matches. Barrel erosion is just something we have to deal with. But it can be motivated somewhat with how we use them. Shep [/QUOTE]
