[QUOTE="Dmagna, post: 1749488, member: 106055"] Barrel wear is just something you deal with. In the end if you shoot out a barrel in a hunting rifle it’s probably 30 years old. A 308 will probably last 3000 rounds or more, a .260 will wear probably 1500-2000. A 300 win mad probably around a 1000. This will increase or decrease based on how you run your loads and how you shoot them. If you are shooting strings of 10 without letting the barrel cool and keep hammering rounds down the barrel it will wear faster. If you take your time and let the barrel cool between smaller strings it will last longer. Don’t worry so much about the powder, just treat the barrel good and it will treat you good. [/QUOTE]
