I have posted this question on the accurate shooter forum and the 24 hour campfire forum. I am hearing anywhere from 600-2500 rounds of accurate barrel life for the BR. I am quite surprised with the diversity of answers I am getting. I feel that with proper loading, cleaning, and shooting practices that 2K would be a reasonable expectation.
You are getting a lot of different answers because of the different uses the owners have. A BR shooter's standards are a lot tighter than a varmint shooters, for instance. Add in natural variation and the range gets pretty wide.
