How long does a barrel last?(how many rounds?) I read that a 300 win. mag barrel lasts 1,000 rds? Is this true? I haven't shot out a barrel yet but i'm wondering how long does a barrel last? I also read that when they broach a barrel if the broach is in good condition we get an accurate gun right away if not it takes around 100rds or more to wear the burr left in the bore by the worn broach. More expensive barrels have better quality bores costing up to $400. Is there any tricks to a long barrel life? (ok funny guys don't shoot the gun right?) Is there anyone who has special barrels either a high nickel or chrome moly additive in the steels?? A higher nickel content in the steel will produce a harder surface when exposed to friction(glaze) like the clyinder walls in your motor in your car. A chrome barrel in the sks's is said to last 10,000rds. I'm just looking for your thoughts and input is ita problem or not?? Can it be made better sure it can with todays technology. BigBill
