[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2867086, member: 10755"] I have never factored in barrel life on a decision regarding cartridge selection. If I lived in the US, then the Allen Magnums would be my number one choice for what I got involved in around 2017, but being hampered by action selection I had to go for wildcats based on the largest case I could get to fit, which is the 416 Rigby case. My 338-416 Rigby Improved 45° is at 868 rounds according to my notes, it is very tired, has about 3/4” of throat erosion now, has had 2 setbacks and another isn’t an option. Still shoots sub MoA, but is no longer acceptable for 2,000 metre shooting, the throat just won’t give me low ES anymore. The next barrel was going to be chambered for 33XC, but life changed that. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
