[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1037444, member: 12995"] Mixture of several things, mainly misreading, caused that. Then after re-reading I edited my post. My appologies. Been a bit "edgy" lately for some reason. Once again, sorry. Barrel life will vary on average. I have read alot of estimates (barrel life is a very subjective topic) and most have said the 7RUM gets around 600-800, and the STW 1000-1,200. But some guys on here have gotten over 1000 on a 7RUM and some over 1,500 on an STW. Too many factors play into barrel life estimation for me to give an accurate estimate. I'm just repeating the averages I've read over the years. As far as accuracy, one caliber has the ability to be just as accurate as the other. There really is no such thing as "inherent accuracy" based on a cartridge's design with all the modern cartridges, bullets, powders, and primers. Not to mention all the specialty precision tools available to us today. I can imagine that back in the early days in the late 1800's to 1940's to 50's, case and bullet design was most likely a much bigger deal than today with all the technological advancements that allowed us to design the modern caliber cases that are still popular and have not gone the way of the Dodo bird.
