[QUOTE="bamban, post: 3070463, member: 17722"] In a couple more years, we will have that many rounds through all the years. I will ask our equipment manager what is his best count to date. My guess we might be over my stated count. Reason, on our training week every year at Perry we burn 10k plus rounds in a week of training between 12 to 18 kids. But, almost half of the rounds are fired in rattle battle, where each 6 person team burns 384 rounds per pass. Rattle battle is really hard on the barrels. At 6 and 5, shooters dump as many rounds as they could in 50 minutes. Load count is typically 30 rounds. The varying rounds counts before we pull out is still not known why other barrels last longer than others. So, we made a conscious decision to pull out barrels after 5K. Typical button barrels, the collective opinion across service rifle community X count at 6 diminishes between 2500 and 3K. [/QUOTE]
