[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 493582, member: 10411"] 6.5 WSM i would guess from 1300 rds to 2000 rds. Had a 264 win that i shot the barrel out of in 1300 and it was burning a bunch more powder than your wsm will. More Powder = more heat, less barrel life. biggest factor i think is how you treat your barrel, low heat, good cleaning will lengthen your life. I would say other big factors would be caliber, speed, bearing surface, and amount of powder burnt. If you want even longer barrel life go with a 6.5 WSSM [/QUOTE]
