[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1688587, member: 104363"] Ok gunsmiths! How many rounds can a 280AI be shot before the barrel starts it's demise? Assume on a trued R700 action: 1 the barrel is not smokin hot, say 5 rounds and cool, max 2 the handload is capable of 500-600 yards accuracy 3 maintaining a max book load or less 4 shooting for target work (for me) and grandkid loads for deer. 130-168 grain anything 5 barrel is a Proof SS pencil barrel, 26", 8.4 twist, for packing into high country, plus a brake 6 rifle in build stage, but seeing loads with H4831, Re22, Re23, Re26 H1000 some shooting magnum primers, some on BR primers. Your choice here... 7 want repeatable results with reasonable loads on elk (rarely) and deer or smaller. I know, "variables". But think along one load you like, what is the life expectancy if this barrel is taken care of, really well... [/QUOTE]
