    My remington has gotta be up over 6k rounds through the barrel by now.. Maybe 60/40 varied factory ammo vs warmish handloads.. Have started to wonder recently if it was starting to open up a little bit, but maybe I've just forgotten how to shoot paper. Rabbits and roos still die fine.

    I believe 6-10k rounds is about the expected life of a 223..
