[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 4966, member: 34"] I know of magnum LR rifles that have 2000 rounds through them and are still shooting fantastic. I know of others who have shot theirs out in 400 rounds. It depends on how much you heat them up and the quality of barrel steel. Some guys use the LR stuff for woodchuck hunting in the hot summer. If your not careful, you will overheat doing this. The World Record ten shot group of 3.151" fired at Williamsport by John Voinda was fired by a large magnum with 1800 rounds through it. The Hoover family of shooters at Williamsport, change their barrels after 2000 rounds and most of them are still shooting well. They shoot the 6.5/284 though which is not a big mag. Depends on how much care you give your barrels. Don't overheat the barrel and make sure the copper gets cleaned from them too. DC [/QUOTE]
