[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1527458, member: 30902"] There are good estimators for barrel life that'll give you a rough idea of when under normal conditions you should expect to start losing accuracy and need to rebarrel. If you reload you can extend barrel life by "chasing the lands" i.e shooting heavier bullets and seating them longer until you max out your magazine size and bullet weight relative to barrel twist rate as you see accuracy begin to degrade. With high velocity chamberings like the .22-250 you really need to clean them often or the carbon and copper build up can shorten your barrel life considerably. Personally, I would spend money on a better scope clean the snot out of the barrel and have someone put a borescope to it to let you know what the barrel and throat look like before jumping to a new barrel.
