[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1205168, member: 27307"] Clay Target Guy, It's difficult to pin down an accurate number for barrel life due to the number of variables in components let alone the individual shooter's style. Barrel quality also is a factor. Fast shooting is a shorter life, slow and methodical is a longer life. Faster, high energy powders shorten life, slower cool burning powders lengthen life. Shorter necks with longer sloping shoulders shorten life, longer necks, sharper shoulders lengthen life. The .22 Creedmoor I mentioned above gives me a good average of the best performance with a slightly longer neck and the 30 degree shoulder when compared to the straight .22-243 Win. I can use the faster high activity powders but I prefer to step back a little and use the cooler slow burning powders without giving up a lot at all velocity-wise. But any of the either slightly improved cases or the full on Ackley improved cases will perform as well using similar powders. Shooting the fireforming loads in the field performs with excellence without dedicating time and money to fireform ahead of time. Regards. [/QUOTE]
