I think I put about 4,500-5000 rounds through that little rifle.

I had occasion to look at likely barrel life for a number of cartridges a couple of years ago. I found a good discussion at http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/general...ion-2.html

The long and the short is that the .308 Win appears to average 3000 rounds for useful barrel life, scaling based on bore capacity would suggest that the Grendel would have a life of about 4300 rounds.

Given the variability of these things, it says that your experience is definitely in the ball park for barrel life!

In this case, one might argue that the Scirrocos had no adverse effect on barrel life, especially since the experience was above expectation.
