I'm probably at around 300 or so. I've only had mine a couple years. I have burned almost two lbs of RS through it, 80-90 gr loads.

I always wondered why the rifling was so shallow on these rifles.

One thing I will now only begin to do (I'm late to the party) is OIL MY HINGES.
I should have been doing this from the get go.

I can't count that high! ;D Only have so many fingers and toes you know. ;)

Seriously, I would say my Huntsman (2003) is well over the two thousand mark, and my Sidekick (2008) is around 500. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I have way too many muzzleloaders to keep track of, and I shoot powder by the ca$e.

My Huntsman is my fav, and it still locks up tight enough to shoot MOA groups when I can do my part.

john keyes,

I use grease on the hinge pin.

Well, my huntsmans barrel has a total of 16 rounds thru it.  That is sighting it in at 75 yards and breaking the barrel in.  About 4 clicks to move it to the right, and about 40 clicks to move it up and it is right on.  I am amazed at how well it shoots out of the box and how easy it was to get about a 2" pattern.   I still need to shoot some more because I want to try a heavier charge, but if I don't, I am happy with it.
