I can confirm his round count too...
**updated after reviewing my log** My regular stainless Bartlein has 2926 rounds fired now. The throat has grown a bit but still shooting good. From un-fired/new to now my throat has moved .090", this measurement is taken with the same bullet throughout the barrels life. This averages .003" of growth for every 100 rounds fired. The rifle saw 34.3 gr of varget for the first 700 rounds then I embraced the slower is better mentality and moved to 32.6 grain of varget, in hornady brass with 109 Berger hybrid's. This yields 2845 as of last check, which is 106fps slower than the hotter load and based on averages taken.
When I reworked my load at around the 700 rounds fired mark I was jumping .060" and I've maintained the same setting on my seating die since then, which puts my current jump at .111"
Now with all that said I have started using 108 eld's in this barrel now due to Berger availability and will continue those until the barrel stops shooting well.
Current targets from the past three months.
