if you're shooting them fast and using the light weight pills then yes 2000 is about it... I researched a lot before I made my decision to build a 260 Rem. The guy I talked to said that he got roughly 5000 rounds out of his last barrel. He was shooting the 140 Amax at 2800 fps.... And he is a long range varminter (so he still needs the precision to be there) that shoots little cottontail rabbits at 900-1000 yards.

Check him out on YouTube: 260 Rips-- he shot a Tangelo @ 1/2 mile too.
