Bartlein Mod400 Barrel Life

[COB_MASTER]

Anyone out here who has burned a Mod400 barrel yet? I would especially be interested in barrel burners like 6.5 SAUM, 300 Norma or 33XC, but any information would be appreciated.
Please can we get some data here. Please state, caliber, barrel life obtained, style of shooting ( e.g. PRS style).

Frank green just posted in the 220 TB group buy thread about these.

Group Buys - 220 Thunderbolt Reloading dies Group Buy

Alright guys. Ive finally got dies worked out. When and how much will all depend on you guys. The more pre-orders we can get the cheaper the sizing dies will be. I am going to open up a pre-order group buy for the dies to see who all is on board. We really need 30 to get the price down.. Less...

If you don’t want to look through it....here’s what he said. Should be interesting when he gets to look at it.

“I’ve got a barrel coming back right now...was 6x47 Lapua in a gas gun. Slinging 107gr type bullets at 3125fps. Needless to say I think he is stepping on it!!! He normally would get 800-900 rounds with that set up. Best ever was like 1200. So he bought a 400modBB material and did it up. He pulled it at 2,290 rounds.

I should have the barrel back any day now. Gonna cut it a part and take a look at it.“

I would imagine it’ll be another year or two before volume of reports come in.

I have three on order and I’d imagine just to shoot them out id need another year after deliver. Two for the 33XC and one for 25CM

I have a 22 creed in a carbon fiber with that steel. Figured running 60 vmaxes at 3750fps, it should help with barrel life.
