i think you may be dead before your smooth bore barrel is
Good job cooner, I was going to say a Zillion rounds.
thanks all
Cooner says it the right way!
The rest of the action will roll snake eyes before the barrel wears out!
You will never shoot that many shots in a lifetime of shooting.
Shotgun barrels do not generally ever wear out, they may rust,get pitted or blow up from over pressure from overloading, but not wear yout.
Had a buddy shoot 100,000 rounds through a Berreta autoloader in one year, and it keeps on tickin.
The other part of that is we are talkin lead, I think. I'll bet steel ruins a choke in not too long of time unless the choke is open, at least a modified at the tightest.
Knew a fellow that ruined a good Browning by shooting steel through a full choke.
