I can't imagine a 300 Win Mag lasting to 5000 rounds, not with that short neck and all that powder. I think I maybe got 1500 rounds out of my 25-06 before the throat washed away.
I think my first CRMO 223 barrel off my Savage lasted 3000 or so shots. Actually, the last group it shot was a .415 but the throat was out too far to use the magazine any more. It's in the stash to be set back and put on something, someday.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
