[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2057005, member: 103996"] I don’t think you’re going to get away with never rebarreling again. If you shot out a 26 nosler I’m going to assume you shot between 750-900 rounds from it. Heck even on the low side saying 650. None of the options you gave will be enough of a barrel life improvement to last you the rest of your life. They’ll last a lot longer than the king of barrel burning, but they’ll maybe last 6-10 years instead of 3-5, assuming you shoot it the same amount as you did the nosler. 7wsm is hard to find, 270wsm is easy to find. The downside to the 270 used to be there’s no good bullets suited to a magnum .277 caliber, but that’s not the case anymore thanks to nosler making new long heavies for their 27 nosler. I’d go 270wsm or 7wsm, but currently I’d prefer the 270. [/QUOTE]
