I have a Savage 10 predator hunter max in 223. I clean the gun about every 150 rounds. I use it for paper shooting. I was wondering about how many rounds can I expect from the barrel? Thanks for your input.
 
Re: barrel life

Every barrel is different, shoot that barrel until it will not give you accuracy need to do job.
 
Re: barrel life

I agree that each barrel is different. I have a 223 with over 5000 rounds, and I have seen some that still shoot pretty good at 10K. However these barrels have never been shot with hot loads, something to consider if your a handloader.
