A warm (barrel) welcome from all of us.

Barrel life - as expressed by accuracy potential - is a very personal thing, I guess. A target shooter would throw away a barrel that shot 1/2" groups, but a deer hunter would hug and kiss that same barrel. A varmint hunter might be somewhere in between.

But the guys above are right: don't burn it and you'll have it a long time. Given reasonable care and you should get a good 10,000 shots out of a .22-250, even at full speed. But shoot it one day until it's smokin' hot, and that might be the end for that barrel.

Keep it clean, keep it cool and you'll keep it a long time.
