[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 337271, member: 6152"] No cat fight here, better things to do than speculate or argue about barrel life or expected barrel life... Technically, the .338 will have a longer barrel life than the .300. Barrel life depends on many factors, not just round count. I have put over 1,500 rounds down a .300 RUM barrel with little to no degradation in accuracy. It will take a reasonable amount of time to put over 1,000 rounds through the barrel of either hunting hunting rifle. So, in terms of barrel life, they will both last a long time. The .338 may last a bit more, but to me that's similar barrel life... we're not comparing a 6x.284 to the .338 RUM. My point was that by the time he gets to that point, he's probably going to want to re-barrel to something else in the wildcat arena like he said. The shot out barrel will not be his deciding factor. :) Long Time Ranger, Good thing you bought when you did, prices certainly went up. I have a few hundred pieces of Norma, so I'm good for a while.
