How Many Rounds to Shoot a 17 HMR Barrel Out

[waldedw]

Just curious if anyone has shot out a barrel on a 17 HMR and if so how many rounds it took.

I have a CZ455 varmint that I bought new in 2015 and I track the rounds through all the guns I buy new, yesterday shooting gophers I passed the 10,000 round mark and it will still take the head off a gopher at 75 - 100 yards if I do my part, incredible accuracy.

I have seen copper fouling cause issues, because some people never use copper solvent in a rimfire, but I haven't seen a 17hmr barrel shot out.

You should be able to get 10k plus out of a 223. Get back to us at 100,000. :-)
