    Carried 357, 375H&H & 45/70 with NOE HP at various times but every time a shot offered I had the 240wby in my hands. Very impressed with its performance on 600lb+ animals.

    I'm the same, would love to get into it but from a cost perspective I just cant justify it when I can buy 10k+ J-words that I know will shoot 0.5moa and handle 4000fps for the same price and no work.

    Knew an old timer who shot out the barrel on his 22lr rifle, his estimate was somewhere around 250k rounds.
    My 686 is some where past 50k target loads, I think its just starting to break in.
