life

Hi guys, i hope that not exist a similar thread....so, i want to know, based on your experiences, life of barrel.... after how many shots should be changed? my question is for 308 win, but you can bring back experiences for other calibers. Thanks

I know I have seen it, and it isnt much, but I have searched with both engines and have not found the answer. What kind of life can I expect from the 26" Kreiger barrel in my Desert Tac SRS 338LM?

I haven't been nearly as vigilant in labeling my pistol brass for number of times fired as I do for my rifle brass. In all truth, I haven't been as vigilant about my bulk (blasting).223 and 5.56 brass either as I pick up quite a bit, in addition to my own. I clean it all and handle it / inspect...

I was taking my son to the dentist this morning and saw the August 2009 issue of Outdoor Life sitting there. They had a bunch of gear comparisons so I thought I'd take a look. Thumbed to the scope comparison / review and started to take a look. A Swarovski won the top pick with four stars and...

Generally speaking how many rounds does the 260 Rem barrel last. Would there be any difference between a bolt 260 barrel and a semi 260 barrel. Assuming moderate loads, not laser loads. TIA

How many loads are you getting out of your cases? My friend is buying one of these beasts. Also, I'm wondering if my Redding BOSS is up to sizing them (size of opening). They are as tall as an Atlas Booster :P Thanks!

I'm an amateur that likes working on my own stuff. I had put two lowers together before buying a Pivot Pin Detent Installation Tool (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=920248) and now I can't see how I made it without this tool. No more chasing pins & springs across the...

In searching through threads about coating a barrel with melonite, the only thing I found was: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...4173#Post864173 There aren't any long term results saying it does / does not increase barrel life. Has anyone coated a barrel with melonite and seen...

What's your round count? How long till the groups opened up.

Did the search with no luck. About how many firings will .50bmg brass last? What brands will last the most?

Just wondering what kind of barrel life I can expect from a Rock River Varmint 24" SS barrel? Are they comparable to a 308 barrel life?? Alan

On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or...

any opinions on the barrell life of a 700 pss .308 barrell life, with 800 rounds down the tube and same wear and tear on the action, but well maintained?

Guys how many rounds can this tube take before she is shot out? I know it depends on how hot the loads were but lets say on avarage i may be looking at a trade for my 10fp, that has only 25 rounds through her. Thanks Sandmann

I wondering what kind of brass life y'all are getting out Winchester brass? I have been shooting a 270WSM for about 5 years now and 4 to 5 reloadings is all I can get before the primer pockets start getting to loose and these are with moderate loads. I'm trying to make the decision whether to go...

Is there any general rule on the shelf life of stored powder, assuming it is stored in a climate control environment? Thanks in advance..

Gents, for you 7WSM shooters out there: how long are your tubes holding up?

I shoot two 6.5x55 Swedes. I love them. One is a Ruger M77, the other is a real deal, older than dirt, accurate as hell Swedish mauser target rifle, with god only knows how many rounds down the tube. They both shoot great, Ruger has about 500 rounds, and like I said, no clue about the CG...

I think it was from somewhere herd on the hide that I found out a few months ago about an "Accurate Barrel Life" calculator spreadsheet that would output the number of rounds to be expected before accuracy dropoff. Quite a few powders are listed in the "comment" for the cell with the powder...
