    I understand 1400 is about tops for a .270wsm but barrels become consumables when running such high pressures and speeds if you want to shoot targets/steel as well as animals.

    Guess so. I have never thought about it. Mines done about 200 so there is a bit of life left. 5 years maybe, and then we will both retire. Or my sons can re-barrel it.

    Tahr I shot several mobs of goats. So a lot of the damage was my fault.
    Also I was running pretty high pressures I believe. Speed wasn't there, but the powder was.

    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
