Hey all,
I’ve been trying to get more precise with tracking barrel life, especially on my 6.5CM bolt gun. I know most folks go by round count, but lately I’ve been wondering if actual barrel time (in hours) under heat and stress might give a better picture — especially for PRS or long-range sessions.
Anyone here use timers, shot logbooks, or temperature sensors to correlate shooting hours with throat erosion or group degradation? Curious what systems, habits, or even apps you’re using to log this sort of data.
Appreciate any input — I’m trying to build a more complete maintenance + reloading history.
