600rd barrel life. Maybe 800 if you load really slow. I don't know about you, but that's maybe a year in a rifle that I shoot regularly.
YUP,. ^^^ Bingo !!
IT's all about Speed and keeping up with, the "Latest" B/S Trendy "Stuff," to Impress,.. your Buddies !
Nobody, "thinks" about, putting, $3,000. or more into, a "Build" and, the SHORT Barrel Life !
Hence WHY, I went to the 6 XC, VERY Accurate to some very, LONG Ranges AND, I expect, approx. 2,400- 2,500 " Accurate", Rounds out of, MY Barrels ! Yup it's 25 to 50 FPS slower than, the 6 Creed ( Coyotes, DO know, the "Difference",.. I'm told,.. LOL ).
And, The .22 Creed IS, MORE of, a Real,.. "Barrel Burner" !
I LIKE to, Shoot and Practice, a LOT as I'm, "Old School" AND, the Wind Blows, pretty Hard out, on the Deserts of Idaho, thus, the 6 MM & High BC !
