I have been shooting my Browning Hells canyon more and more, because it is just plain fun. It has the lighter fluted barrel and I am shooting a 150 grain at 3000ish feet per second. I know that there are a ton of variables, I am just trying to get a general idea of what the barrel life will be.
When cleaning I have been doing a deep clean with a copper solvent every 100ish rounds, and just oil and a snake in between. I never let the barrel get overly hot (I am shooting three round springs with rest between strings and I am not doing fast strings, and only shoot factory ammo.
If anyone thinks this thread would be better else where that is fine just thought that the competition guys may have higher round counts than the average person.
