As an idea to kick around before you order a new prechambered barrel, take a look at maybe doing a 6mm Creedmoor instead.

Well done on spending enough time on the trigger to shoot out a barrel. Everyone yaps about barrel life but VERY, VERY FEW, ever will shoot a barrel out in their life time. Especially from start to finish. At today's powder prices it took you about $500.00 bucks in powder alone to shoot that barrel out. Not to mention, brass, bullets and primers. Most couldn't afford to shoot a barrel out, let alone find the time to send 2700 plus rounds down range.There's a special place for "Dead" barrels!!💥👍💥
That's pretty amazing case life. Brass life is another benefit of the AI. Typically 2-3 times
If you plan on shooting a AI. You may give the Hornady Hydro-Forming dies a try. Saves barrel life and you can shoot full house loads right out of the gate. Some of the Hornady Shooting team guys swear by them. I talked to one of their shooters and he said his hydro formed virgin cases. Are match accurate at 1000 yards on their first loading.

Most just run their sucks...Shot a boat load of 1/2 MOA or smaller groups with Hornady brass. To each their own! Most will run their yaps all day but they won't run their wallets. Not hard to figure out who drops the coin on Firearms and who just yaps about it or is trying to make a "Little" coin on firearms..😘
