[QUOTE="Revolvers4Life, post: 3683151, member: 45115"] I personally keep track because I trade and go through enough guns and I know it is something buyers/traders want to know. its not too hard to just keep a ticker page with each case and mark a line for each 100 I put through or something. I think people are mainly wanting an estimate for this so they know what they are getting into. It does matter especially with certain rifle cartridges how many rounds you put through a barrel even if you aren't using it for competition. I have a 6.5 creedmoor and those barrels only last 3000 rounds or so. So if someone is selling one and they already have several thousand rounds through it that is good info to know. For something like a 9mm, it probably doesn't matter much at all, but if someone has 10k rounds through it vs. someone that has 20 rounds through theirs you can probably get an idea of what the wear is going to look like on them in general. Pictures only show so much and some people don't want to meet up just to find out there is quite a bit more wear then expected. [/QUOTE]
