Depends on your game. 2000 to 2200 ish rounds for most shooters in the non benchrest world.

You like 2 inch groups at 1000 rounds, at what distance. Or, are you shooting 2 inch groups at 1000, how many shots? I am not sure what your saying.

two inch groups at a 1000 yards 5 shots and that magical 10 shot 2 inch
Love to see that. And repeated on an even semi consistent basis. I’m sure it is a goal, but…… seems lofty. 2” 5 shots, thousand yards, a BR, or anything.
If I ever get so good, that I shitcan a barrel if it’s not putting 10 inside 3” @ 1k, I’m gonna look for new challenges.
Exactly! 2.0 is competitive and under that you may win. Seems wind is always my problem but age is not? LOL
And I did try setting a couple back but it's not worth the money to rechamber. I have one in my possession a Krieger 8.35-8.75 ratchet that I reset at 1000 rounds and it's still shooting very well with almost 2000 rounds but I'm not shooting in competition. If you're going to rechamber they need to be shooting well and they shouldn't have any carbon.Trying to bring one back from carbon build up in my opinion isn't worthwhile. I've tried it. That's why I say keep it clean and cool! Cortina covers that subject well in the Speedy G interview recently!
I believe there was a 10 shot group under 2 inches shot about 3 years ago. I don't know if it was a registered match. It showed up here but I can't find it.
If that was shot at a sanctioned match it would be documented.
Of the two listed here, I sat on the same relay as Glenn K. when he shot his record.
