[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2660095, member: 95733"] I own a M700 SST/SYN in 338wm I bought back in 1993 that has at least 1400 reloads through it. It is such an accurate rifle I loved to shoot it. I NEVER shot it enough to ever let the receiver or barrel get to hot to touch. Most were 71-73.5 grains of RL-19 under a 225 NAB. Shot it earlier this year for reasons of nostalgia and it still shot all three shots touching at 100 yards. Used the same reloads from my 2008 elk trip no less. I did quite some time ago replace the factory stock with a HS precision stock. My guess is same as others you should easily get 2500 rounds as long as you never allow the receiver or barrel to heat up to hot to touch. [/QUOTE]
