[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 1346959, member: 4"] The barrel you speak of that dies at 400 rounds had a steady diet of N570 run through it. 570 has been the death sentence to more than one good barrel. Chambered in 33 8Terminatro the 570 will cut barrel life in half! There have been enough barrels run their course with N570 and RL 33 to compare and support this. I though reducing the throat rifling depth might decrease barrel life that is why we didn't release the +P design until we ran a longevity test on it. The original barrel chambered in 338 Edge +P was fed a steady diet of H1000 96-96.5 gr and drove the 300 SMK's at 2935-2950. We took the barrel off at 1000 rounds, the accuracy was still under 1/2 moa and the throat was burn forward only .027". For the performance we were getting I though this was great so we started building rifles on it. [/QUOTE]
