lets say conservativly... 10 thousand rounds.
doing the cost calculator my Fedral match duplicate rounds cost me $0.334 per round.

Thats $3340 of reloads to shoot out a barrel that only lasts 10K round.

I think once I shoot out the barrel of a 308 i can buy another freaking rifle much less a rebarrel job.

JHC! what you people miss-focus on sometimes.

Lets say you go to the range every other saturday without fail.
you shoot a protocol of three rounds and let the barrel cool 10 min. thats 18 rounds per hour. So if you spend 3 hours every other saturday without fail following that protocol it would take you over 7 1/2
years to shoot 10K rounds.
7 1/2 years!!!
put a penny in a jar every day for 7 1/2 years and you will have $2700 bucks.

Is any of this getting through?



Yeah! I'm going to put a penny in a jar everyday.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.
