Right on! That heavy .308 of mine has 4000+ rounds through it and still shoots in the .2's and .3's.
Pat, what's your edjumicated guess on the useful life of a 260 barrel vs. 308? Or at least, what are others saying about the 260's life?
3000 is the word..I'm at 2000 with that Crusader .260 and it's still shooting bugholes. Even my 6XC has 2700 through it and still going although the throat looks a bit haggered. From my experience barrel life can vary a bit from tube to tube. A lot depends on how you shoot them and how you load for them.
