[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1822895, member: 2736"] 👍 Unfortunately, different barrels wear out differently for many reasons and mostly it is in the hands of the shooter and the cartridge requirements how long they last. I don't believe that their is a golden rule of barrel life because of the many variables. I might have one of the widest range of barrel life experiences because of the multitude of uses and cartridges I have used. The fastest i ever shot out a barrel was less than 300 rounds and the longest is still in my gun safe with over 23,000 rounds down the tube. With Iron sites, it will still consistently shoot 1/2 MOA groups. It is a match rifle and has been taken very good care of and not abused by velocity and pressure. Many times the barrel is still very good and only needs a chamber set back to refresh the throat to save it and add many more rounds to the count. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
