[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1702510, member: 2736"] It would be nice if it were accurate, BUT there are so many factors that can effect barrel life that it would only be a guess. I know many ways to improve barrel life if they are followed, and also many ways to reduce barrel life. These things are very dependent on the care and maintenance by the owner. Cartridges that are notoriously bad on bores CAN be managed to make the barrels last longer, just like cartridges that have a reputation for long barrel life can be shortened. I have seen barrels shot out with less than 300 rounds and other barrels with the same cartridge that are still shooting after 3000 rounds. If you could get enough input It might give you the fore site for what not to do and what you could do to help the bore last. Like you, I would like some guidance, but having replaced many barrels and discussed with the owners, procedures as what led up to this point I find two many variations by the owners to come up with a good measure of barrel life of a certain cartridge. The list of things that effect barrel life are to long to list and then there is the human factor. The best thing to do is pick the cartridge you want, and everyone just do their thing and except the barrel life you get for what you want. Not being negative, just practical. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
