5,000, 10,000 I think over but I'm on the same cheep savage barrel.
I'd like to see a picture of the bore in a 243 Winchester barrel that has had 10k rounds shot out of it. Most 243 caliber barrels are toast after 2000 - 2500 rounds. I'm lucky to get 3000 rounds out of my 6.5 Creedmoor or 260 Remington barrel's.
My big burner is my 22 Creedmoor, the barrel last for 800 - 1200 rounds before accuracy falls off.
