What concerns (if any) should I have about barrel life in a remington 700 pss in .300 ultra mag.
I have heard I will be lucky to get 1000 full house loads through it and then the accuracy will turn to $hit and I will need a new barrel.
What is "normal" barrel life anyway, I thought you could shoot tens of thousands of rounds in any cartridge before worrying about "opening up" the barrel?
What contributes to this barrel wear thing? Is it just the speed of the bullet (ie more speed = quicker wear), or does caliber also enter the equation?
