Let me know how it holds up, I've heard that a .22-250 is an extremely hot round and after a couple hundred rounds you start to wash out the barrel. I've been kind of eyeing one myself.

It all depends on how you take care of the rifle. If the owner doesn't get the barrel hot (you can put your hand on the barrel right in front of the chamber or right in front of the scope and hold it there) the barrel will last a long time.
What's a long time? I guess it all depends on what and where you are shooting. If you watch barrel temp, I would think 1,200-1,500 rounds would be easily doable.
I have a 7mm that that I shoot 180-195 grain bullets with, and I burn 110 grains of powder with every squeeze of the trigger. I expect that barrel to last 1,500 rounds or more before accuracy drops off past 1/2 moa.

Good advice: If one is interested in purchasing a .22-250 or any other "Hot" cartridge/caliber; purchase one with a stainless steel barrel of good quality. Otherwise, a "standard grade" barrel, in .22-250 Remington, should be good for at least 1,500 "Hot-loaded" ammo. |

greetings
My experience is this
MOST BARRELS ARE WORN OUT NOT SHOT OUT.
Clean it regularly and that is after every days use,and if its wet even if it has not been fired, takes ten minutes thats all
i have never shot a barrel out in my lifetime, but i am using 308.
when you go to zero your rifle take a rod with you and get it on zero with a clean barrel and keep it clean, it will last an awful lot longer.
i actually found the 22 250 did not stop roe deer the way i was expecting,all dead but all dying runners, i was rather dissapointed, it got traded for a 25/06 that worked well. lol
thirty years ago they all went for a 308 and im sticking to it.
regards

Billy, I think you nailed it. Another thing is to clean it properly. Bore guide, don't booger up the crown, make sure you get all the copper out, etc., etc.

I read they even used axles from old cars & trucks to make barrels during and briefly after WW-2. This of course would be considered inferior to what is used today. Cartridges like the old .220 Swift and a few other ultra velocity calibers were known to give shorter barrel life. This type steel along with some corrosive primers and "Hot" powders, plaid a major role in barrel life. Clean, back then, was an absolute necessity. If one was able to get 2,000 firings, with their .220 Swift etc. with proper cleaning & care, they were lucky. |
