Re: how many rounds
For a 308? After 5,000 to 6,000 you might see some accuracy decline. A few guys here have seen 10,000 through a barrel.

Re: how many rounds
You're not even close to having to worry about it. It'll let you know when it's time for a set back and rechamber (if your barrel can accommodate it) or a new barrel.

Re: how many rounds
When you loose accuracy.. and you have a long way to go.

Barrel life is dependednt on a lot of factors such as what caliber you are shooting, what type of ammo (factory/reloads...if reloads, then how hard/fast you are pushing them), how fast you are shooting (20-40 in a couple hours is no big deal...20-40 rounds in a few minutes will be harder on a barrel/throat in the long run), if you obsessively clean the damn this you can tear up a barrel faster, etc., etc., etc.
At your current round count of 280...you have a LONG ways to go regardless of anything I said above.

+1 to this. I all depends on cleaning and how hard you push the ammo that you use.
