Why do you want to burn out that barrel? I do know that this caliber requires special bullets. Regularly available bullets tend to explode when shot at the velocities this round can reach. Lower powder charges result in poor ignition and erreatic accuracy. with modern steels the barrel SHOULD last around 1000 to 1500 shots. If you get a longer than normal barrel you can cut the chamber off and rechamber it a few times. I believe it is similar to the 230 ackley magnum. The 230 Mag was based on the 30-06 case I think.
