[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 850062, member: 30902"] I've always stuck tot he rule, "No more than 3 shots in one minute, no more than 5 shots without letting it cool with an open chamber for 10 minutes" and as a result barrel life has never been a big issue. My original STW exceeded 1,900 rounds last year and I sent it to a buddy of mine who is a very good gun smith to have him decide for me if it was time to rebarrel or maybe just cut it off and rechamber. He scoped it and told me flat out there was no reason for either yet. From now on I'll stick to that same rule, but I'll go one step further, after proper break in plus a hundred rounds or so I'm going to have them all melonited. [/QUOTE]
