I read online that the 7mm Rem mag will give twice the barrel life of a .264 Win mag. I find that hard to believe but what is the life expectancy of a .264? I'm interested in getting a new model 70 in .264 and want to know what to expect.
MM: Cooking barrels is something not to sweat. They are disposable goods like bullets. If it wears out you just get another one.
Buy what you like and don't worry about the 264.
