Thats amazing honestly. As I noted above, mine didn't make it to 2k. A guy I shoot with pulled his at 2k last fall, couldn't get a barrel, and ended up taking his Creedmoor to the Finale.I believe they had a different Reamer at the beginning for the GT as well because there have been quite a few that have gotten 3k on their GT barrel. I posted somewhere earlier in this thread about me pulling my first GT barrel at just over 3400 rounds more or less for piece of mind. It was still shooting the same speed with no real muzzle velocity loss and still shooting tight groups. There are several guys in the Facebook group for GT shooters as well that got 3k.
I don’t even think I’ve seen anyone that hasn’t gotten at least 2300+ before they decided to pull it and those were more or less for piece of mind cause it was their first barrel on that cartridge. I’m sure if they’re running them hot…..north of 3000fps then maybe I run mine right around 2850 ish and it’s been fine across 3 barrels now.
2850fps is where I was at as well with DTACs. By the time I shot my 3rd Pro Series match, it was down to 2770fps. Thats what the AB guys clocked it at in Montana. I shelved it after that to save it for the Finale and shot my BR. But it was toast.
Just a bad taste in my mouth I guess. Fingers crossed on the next ones.
Edit; I bought my own reamer for that from Manson. I want to say it's a .274 neck and .120 freebore
