[QUOTE="General RE LEE, post: 2680154, member: 115273"] Unfortunately, I’ve not kept up with the round count on my Tikka T3x 6.5 Creedmoor since 2020. I estimate I’m between 750-1000 rounds. I checked my measurements to the lands against my measurements when I started hand loading in 2021 and there is virtually zero throat erosion. I shoot 41.5 grain H4350 loads with 143 ELD-X and 147 ELD-M. I am pretty religious of keeping the barrel cool because being a sporter barrel, it gets hot fast and groups open up. It still seems to shoot as good as always. Sub MOA on good days. Anyone have a Tikka that has good barrel life? I’d like to get 2500 rounds if that’s possible with 6.5 Creedmoor. [/QUOTE]
