I am in a new rifle quandry. I have a few bucks laid back that is burning a hole in my pocket. I was set on a 243 win. But after a certain amount of research, it seems barrel lasts about 2000 rounds. New rifles don't come that often for me so I have almost scratched that idea. Seems the 260 rem will last about twice that long. Which brings me to the current question.
I am curious as to which of the above calibers will have the best barrel life?
The 260 can also be had with a 16.5" barrel. Good idea or not? I know there would be some velocity drop. Does anyone know how much as compared to a 22" barrel?
