No,.... I appreciated it, but I'm old an slow. I'll see your 9mm mag, an throw out a 32 mag.Is my comment not appreciated? It's been 20 seconds and nobody responded.
If you are a reloader, you can turn ANYTHING into a "magnum"... However, you proceed at your own risk...
Say the masters of mayhem and purveyors of fucktardery . As the jingle says " there's two scoops of fucktards in new fucktardios ".
Right up there with the jazz standard " Hey bus driver , don't touch me there . " .
Edit. I always figureed thorozine was like a shot not an Iv drip from a bag . Is that you Bender ?

OP was asking about barrel longevity. I think for him this is inappropriate.
Not too sure. I got her number though...
867-5309... Forgot the area code. I am sure she is in one of the 48 continental states...
Oh, BTW, aren’t you referring to “Jenny” ?
Yup... And she is equally mysterious in her whereabouts and identity as 'Jeannie in a bottle"... Probably less elusive than Carmen Sandiego though...
But not too arrogant, insecure and inept.That guy is to F’n stupid to be an engineer.
It’s only a magnum if it says “magnum” in the name. Duh...If you are a reloader, you can turn ANYTHING into a "magnum"... However, you proceed at your own risk...
Not appreciated.
Some of the fucked up shit I work on does NOT install confidence in an engineer's smarts!That guy is to F’n stupid to be an engineer.

I was asleep Mike. I profusely apologize.
Besides.......you have a point, 9mm magnum....that's some impressive digging in the old cerebral cortex.
Yeah....I've decided I appreciate your comment. Damn fine job sir.
...And have it bull-barreled and built up until the view from the muzzle end looks like a compact disc and the whole thing weighs 400+ lbs...
Mount it on the back of a spacecraft and start firing it on full auto as a reaction engine... It will be able to propel the thing to Alpha Centauri and even after 10,000 years of firing, there will STILL be some barrel left.
Hmmmm, and when it does wear out, bore it out to .243, then, 6.5, then .308............And have it bull-barreled and built up until the view from the muzzle end looks like a compact disc and the whole thing weighs 400+ lbs...

I so wanna say 357 magnum but I know you mean rifles so I'll be a smart ass there too and say 22wmr it's tiny but it last a really long time .
she is a lot prettier but musically Id take the first on .

Start out at .308 and it will NEVER wear out.Hmmmm, and when it does wear out, bore it out to .243, then, 6.5, then .308.........
I just read the title and didnt read any of the replies.
Im gonna use my magical psychic powers and say that some people politely stated that if you can afford to run magnum cartridge you can afford to pay for a barrel swap or shouldn't be concerned with barrel life.
I am gonna go ahead and assume that OP gets annoyed by this.
I am also gonna assume that a bunch of people will chime in and say "go be poor somewhere else"
Am I close?

4 year Necrothread
I know, but I got a notification about it from the legendary reference thread
Lol, dude joined June 7th 2020 and was last seen June 7th 2020. Good job gentlemen, it didn't even take a day.
Every think that could have been someone from here, trying to run the numbers up? Did you notice,... No other posts,... were made by the OP outside of this thread.
How did i miss this gem?
Both, my 300 rsaum and 300wsm are at about 2400rds each but I also do not hotrod them. I generally run about mid range loads which are plenty powerful enough for hunting and plinking steel out to 1000. I could easily bump them up another 2-300fps but the cost would be less brass life, shorter barrel life and more recoil. For me, its not worth it when I can just shoot a bigger cartridge if thats my goal.
Never mind all the particulars about the particularity about all this. the best barrel life is the 700 H&H. For the price of a small private jet, you can purchase the rifle, and for the price of a nice PRS custom rifle, one can purchase a few boxes of rounds. Once those are shot, one is either financially broke, or one’s shoulder is broke, either way, those two barrels on that double rifle will likely, with a little oil applied regularly and kept in a nice controlled environment, last pretty much forever.
This is not appreciated, there’s no 700 H&H cartridge.
<Cliff Clavin>Since Holland and Holland introduced the 700 Nitro Express, it is referred to by some as the 700 H&H.</Cliff Clavin>
It's irrelevant because it doesn't have Magnum in the name.
Had he asked which has the greatest stopping power, 700NE would be a good answer. ("After one shot, I want to stop.")

But, but, Supers are so Early 20th Century
Well, the 700 is a cartridge created for the Holland and Holland 700 Double Rifle. Hummmmm
Picky, picky, picky
. 
17HMR what are you a heathen?
17hmr is overbore compared to 22mag ==> less barrel life…
Hey, dummy. The point of the thread is about barrel life. Keep it on track, pretty please
This thread is over 4 years old im
Pretty sure the point is well gone
I could have saved a lot of money using these.
Nobody has worn out a 375h&h. They're stupid accurate and last forever.
