33XC expected Barrel Life?

[harry_x1]

Looking for feedback on expected barrel life for 33XC from people who own and have shot this caliber. What was your setup and what kind of life did you get from your barrel?

Additionally, Based on your experience, what should I expect for below setup:
33XC 30 inch Bartlein barrel. With initial load testing (299 DTACs, 109 Gr H1000) I expect to have a node around 3080 fps.

Appreciate your time and assistance.

how many consecutive shots at the time are planning on shooting?

The load you mention is pretty mild for the 33XC. I am running 275 Cutting Edge at 3150fps from a 28" barrel with H50BMG. I believe both H50BMG and H1000 are easier on the throats compared to N570 or other powders that are often used to squeeze out extra velocity.
I am only about 200 firings into mine at this point so I cant give any first hand experience to barrel life. I think you should get to 750-1000+ firings with that mild load if you keep the consecutive shots to a minimum.

During practice, not more than 3 consectively...with 10 mins breaks for barrel cool down. But this gun will mostly be used for ELR matchs where in general there are 10 consective shots within 10 mins at each stage for a total for 5 stages (as I am told).
