    What can one reasonably expect the barrel life of a TRG 22 to be using 168 grain Federal match ammo to be before a notable loss of acuracy occurs.

    It's a 308...probably 6-8 thousand rounds before you see any significant accuracy losses.

    CE1371 is about right. However..it depends on what accuracy you were originally getting and what accuracy is considered a "Notaeable loss". 1/4 moa to 1/2 moa? It depends on what distance you are talking too. If you are ok with just under 1 moa, then you should get an easy 7-10,000 rounds. The only thing is that the OAL with a factory 168 will hinder you a bit. After the throat has that many rounds through it, there will be a bit of jump. Lengthening the OAL can Definately improve group size.
