.17 HMR barrel life ?

Post by Die Judicii » 21 Nov 2017, 8:05 pm

Has anyone got any idea of an expected barrel life for this caliber ?

Mine is a CZ453 heavy barrel.

It's a (comparatively) low pressure cartridge. It should last a long time, like 10k+ rounds long.

G'Day Fella's,

Die Judicii, probably more than you can afford (at this very moment.

I have the same rifle (CZ 453 HB) and after doing a bit of work on it, this is one of the groups I shot with it (@ 50 meters).
