Re: Barrel life from 6.5 Creedmore
Barrel Life can be a very subjective question.
What is your accuracy requirement?
Serious F-Class shooters change barrels at ~1500rds, because the rifle won't hold .3's, but that would still be a great barrel. Many hunters would take 1.5" groups.
That said, my estimation, depending on how hot you get it, a 6.5Creed life is probably no more than ~3500rds.
