    McGowen and 3020 rounds, 6x45

    Here is an update on my 6x45 Savage build for those looking to build a Bolt or AR15 in this caliber and wonder about barrel life.
    As of today I have 3020 rounds fired through my 24" SS, varmint weight McGowen barrel that I got from Jim @ NSS & I built in 2011.
    Seems to be shooting ok after 400+ coyote, 7 antelope, 100s of paper targets and couple thousand+ p-dogs.
    All are 5 shots over my chrony today and mixed brass consisting of LC/R-P/IMG/PPU/PMC/MAL in each group. It doesn't have a need to have every round the same brass mfg...shoots em good anyway.
    My 80g tsx barnes load shoots .630", 85g SGKHP goes .550"/95g nosler HBT goes .750"
    My glass is a 35 yr. old BSA 6-24x44 platnum target scope, 1/8" dot. Japanese made!
