Somehow barrel wear always come's up. I have never known a hunter that has worn out a barrel! If a hunter had what a competition shooter called a worn out barrel, he wouldn't likely know it! So say it goes 3000 rounds before wearing out. Shoot 40 rds a year sighting in and hunting and the barrel should last 75 yrs. Up the count to 100 rds a year and it still takes 30 yrs to wear out the barrel. 30 years to wear out a barrel so it no longer shoots 1/2" groups but opens to 3/4" groups doesn't seem to me to be much of a problem. Worn out barrel for a hunter is not a problem!What about the argument regarding barrel wear? I've heard that a 6.5 Creedmore will wear out a barrel a little quicker that a .308....is this true?
Looking at a Savage 110 Long Range Hunter and being unable to come to a decision of caliber (6.5 vs. .308) has delayed my purchase by months!
I've never seen this happen. Never heard of this. If true, I would have.After about 50-100 rounds, every round is less accurate than the one before.
Many of my rifles have never really settled down and started to shoot really good groups until I was 100 or so rounds down the tube.I've never seen this happen. Never heard of this. If true, I would have.

Nathan said:my statement was nearly trying to capture that there is a point where accuracy and speed are increasing with a new barrel. At some point, there is a peak....I would argue it is pretty early in barrel life, but that basically to the shooter a barrel delivers good accuracy for a long time....from break in through ??? Round count.
