Question for AXMC owners. What kind of barrel life are you getting out of your 338LM barrel on average? I just scoped mine and I am getting "fire cracking" just forward of the throat. I am not sure how many rounds I have down the tube on mine, quite counting after the 500 mark.
The barrel still holds sub MOA vertical dispersion at 1000 yrds but is starting to foul up easily( my range sessions are usually 50-60rnds of 300gr projo's running 2650-2750fps depending on the load.) I am going to run it till it hits over 1MOA dispersion, just trying to decide when to start looking for a new barrel.
Thanks in advance.
1500-2000 roughly, but that’s highly dependent on a lot of factors. Not really anything to do with it being an AXMC, but rather basic physics and metallurgy.
Shoot it until you feel it’s no longer viable.
