[QUOTE="Harvey Durham, post: 1569663, member: 108572"] Let there be no doubt that the faster the bullet travels, the shorter the barrel life. Their are certainly other factors, but increased speed reduces barrel life. Over bore is another factor, getting your barrel hot is not good. I never shoot one of my rifles over 5 times without letting it cool. Having said that, 3,000fps will give you or should long term barrel life. Shoot your Bullets at the speeds your rifle tells you every time. Each gun is different, twist, barrel length. All effects your speed, accuracy, and barrel life. Hope this helps, Harvey Durham 731-727-9242 [/QUOTE]
