of the rapid strings of fire in competition... or because of the case geometry directing the hot gasses onto the leade??? or something else?
i am interested in the 6.5x284 for hunting... hoping a barrel could last well past 1000 rounds...
It will last well over 1,000 rounds, used as a hunting rifle. Mine is doing well, probably 500 or so down the tube. It shows early throat erosion thru the Hawkeye, still as accurate as it ever was. It's a 26" Krieger.
My 26 Nosler with 400 rounds shows just a bit more erosion, I'm thinking it'll go 1,000.
Once I work up loads, they don't get shot as much. I have too many other rifles/projects to wear these out.
