rich1985 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi all. I was talking to a friend that like myself does a lot of shooting and he says a 17hmr barrel is only good for around 8000 rounds, anyone have any knowledge of this? I think I must be near this amount now, my gun still shoot a brilliant group tho. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 If I'm being stupid please correct me but that's £1600 on ammo on an average of £3/400 per complete gun. I'm not going to worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyflier Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 No, I 've heard talk of the .17 centre-fire (Hornet?) being capable of burning out a barrel, but I'm still not convinced about that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
