What is reasonable (# of rounds fired) barrel life?
Colt SP-1, almost exclusively M193 Ball.

Until your groups open up.  I've heard 20k is a good place to start looking, and I've heard of shot-out barrels with 10k through them.

Barrel life depends mostly on round count and rate of fire.  Doing mag dumps will greatly decrease life.
