22-250 barrel life?

[Apollo]

From Thales (ADI or Australian Munitions). The ADI AR2206 has not been manufactured for a number of years when it was discontinued from further production. Supplies may be available as "old stock".

Why switch to AR2208 and not AR2206H if as you say AR2206 is still available..???

The accuracy of a 22-250 calibre after 15,000 rounds would probably be fine at 25 yards.....!!!! 150 empty primer packets, about time to have a clean out.

I see what you mean by know-alls, do you really need to write that? f*** wit

Jaso calling someone a f**kwitt is totally uncalled for, particularly coming from someone who just yesterday in this thread wrote

"Easy chief, don't take it to personally. There only opinions & comments. Some seem like know-alls but there just putting there opinion on here like you did. Go grab a beer & relax it's just a forum."

Fir the record, I don't think anyone here believes a 22-250 could be considered accurate after in excess if 15,000 rounds. That's .222 territory and as varmtr said earlier in this thread around 3,000 rounds is realistic for the 22-250

If it were still accurate he probably wouldn't have had to stop and rebarrel it at 15,000.

FWIW I load for a 22-250 that was Re chambered and crowned at 8000 (was still accurate but starting to go off), it is at 10,000 plus and still fine for culling. It isn't a hot load by any stretch of the imagination. I have no idea what the end barrel life of this rifle will be.

15,000 is definately getting every millisecond's worth and it probably was a few thousand overdue for a barrel but still doing the job, not common but definately possible.

Some people seem to think that as soon as a rifle won't shoot 1/2" groups at 500m that a barrel is knackered for hunting when in reality a 2" group at 100 will easily kill most animals.

Apollo should have either apologised or shut up.

My post was not meant to question anyone's claims of how many rounds they could get out of a barrel, simply to get the thread back on topic and help the op with his question

"how long is the barrel life for a 22-250 in general?"

By "in general" I assume he doesn't mean the extreme maximum but approximately how many rounds could a 22-250 barrel retain most if its accuracy.

As I have said earlier in this thread I have no experience shooting the cartridge so I will refrain from suggesting a number again but I do have a friend who's rem 700 wouldn't hold a 5" group at 100m and it had many less than 3,000 rounds through it (hand loads) and was duly rebarreled in .243

As fit the other subject that's for the mods to decide but one forum member calling another a FW is not desirable no matter what the "discussion"
