[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 812409, member: 35183"] Many people who own "standard" 20" sporter barreled 243's shoot relatively mild factory loads in them, not too many a year and they last a long time. The exception would be guys shooting the light varmint loads at near 4000fps on prairie dogs, and barrels don't last long for that group either. But most of us who go with an Ackley chamber are looking for speed and run close to max (for an Ackley) or even slightly over loads. So it would be logical that the barrel life would be shorter than the case of someone shooting factory loads with 10-15% less powder in them. If I was not after the speed I certainly couldn't be bothered with all the work associated with fireforming brass. [/QUOTE]
