Too many variables to give a good answer. How hot is the ammo? How hot are you gonna get the barrel? What is your standard for acceptable accuracy? I would think the barrel accuracy would be the deciding factor, the Sig warranty should cover any other failures.
I am just looking for a normal range. Is there a number of rounds where your looking to replace? I am using all factory loads, can't say about the amount of powder, just the bullet weight is all I know, which is listed on each box.
Would it be closer to 10,000 or 20,000 rounds that your going to see the drop off in barrel accuracy? Or sooner?
Thanks, more involved then I ever care to get into a testing process, but a good read. At the very least, I learned just how deep the rabbit hole can go in relation to the original question I posted.
If you have learned nothing about me so far, know this...I am so tight with my money that the eagle squawks when I pull a quarter out from my pocket. :lol:
If you are shooting Palma matches the useful life may be as low as 1,000 rounds. Normal fun time paper punching at 100 yards you should get 8,000 before you see much difference. If you do a bunch of mag dumps then this number goes down fast. SOOOO many variables to figure...........
The guys at Benchmark Barrels told me that an SSG 3000 barrel is "good" for 4000 rounds and then after that you have to start paying attention to throat erosion. Now what their definition of "good" is, they failed to mention
This fear, and the fact you can't get parts for this rifle, is why I have a spare barrel laying in wait.
Well, I know of a 716 with over 12k rounds. Just last week, it was able to hit steel at 300 and didn't keyhole on paper at 100.
