[QUOTE="sweeney, post: 391747, member: 453"] If you don't reload you will probably never shoot out or "burn" up a barrel, especially on a cannon like a 28 nosler. Mostly because you won't be doing load work up with different powders and bullets and seating depth testing. You will probably buy some hornady factory precision or match ammo and the gun will shoot a 3/4" group once so you will take the speed off the box of bullets, and type that into a ballistic calculator, then start shooting at a 12" gong at 500 yards then move out to a 24" gong at 800. You will get a few hits in once in a while, and be satisfied with your "submoa" rifle and start lobbing shots out at deer at 800 yards when you draw your first Muley/Elk tag ever. All of a sudden you realize in the last 10 years you have shot 4 boxes of ammo or 80 rounds down the "barrel burner" and realize hunting rifles really dont get shot a lot and the accuracy that will diminish from shooting 80-800 rounds in all reality isn't that big of a deal because most people shoot minute of paper plate anyways at 200 yards. Or you will fall into a dark rabbit hole that will consume your life and checkbook if you aren't careful and start buying hundreds of pounds of powder and 10's of thousands of primers and bullets. Because you now realize you never actually knew what accuracy was and you then treat rebarreling a rifle like buying new tires. Side note have had a couple factory carbon barrel rifles all of them shot great in magnums and prc's for what that is worth. [/QUOTE]
