300 weatherby barrel life

The barrel life thread has got me to wondering roughly how many rounds my accumark has in it. Anybody have any realistic numbers?

Welcome to the forum dustin... Unless you shoot ALOT your rifle should have a lifetime of shooting in it... There are some very experienced Weatherby folks at http://www.weatherby.dk that can give you some firm numbers... I'm reasonably sure that my 338-378 Weatherby Accumark will give me upwards of 3000 rounds so I don't expect to be shooting out the barrel in what's left of my lifetime...

just remember to let the barrel cool down after ca 3 shots, and the barrel will last long
