223 Barrel Life at Life

223 Barrel Life. Keep it spotless and it should last a very long time. In the past couple of years i have been shooting cast out of it as well as taking it to my annual pdog shoots with jacketed.

I replace my competition barrels in 3,000 rounds, or as close to that as the season timing allows. 22lr barrel life is a fallacy you shouldn't even be concerned with actually. If you only shoot from a bench with 5 shot strings, never letting the barrel heat up, the barrel will last a very long time.
