I have a Rem XR-100, which I'm going to change from a .22-250 to a 6.5-284 or something like it.
I saw the question asked about bbl life in this cartridge which never really got answered. The originator of this thread mentioned that he wanted to get at least 2000 rounds down the tube before he had to replace it. Is this a reasonable number to expect with this cartridge? All things being equal, what is the service life of a bbl chambered in this cartridge?
I just burned out a factory 7mmRUM, and I doubt that I had 500 rounds through it. Don't want to do that again with any bbl that I buy.
