    How many rounds will the barrel last in your estimation KG? Assume the rounds would be pretty hard on it

    IIRC its really just scaled up 30-06, sure it uses 230 odd grains of powder but they are going down a BIG hole, the jackets are most likely no harder than other jackets on the Amaxes.

    If you look after it & don't get it to hot (that's what kills accuracy/barrel life the fastest) it should last 3-5K+, 45-75 kgs of powder & 144-245 kgs of projectiles

    Its bitter sweet that this will be at Tobys and he wont. I know he would have loved to have a play and have a dig about the action being sloppy compared to his Howa

    Its younger brother, very nice to use but accuracy was average, adequate for its intended purpose though

    I took it for a burn again today with some more loads

    Unfortunately its still coppering enough to upset accuracy after 15-20 rounds



    Its showing a fair bit of promise, looking forward to stretching its legs

    Good to see the factory PMC ammo goes pretty well, must get some more before Toby's shoot
