[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 947172, member: 2736"] Barrel life varies greatly from the use and care of it. Barrel Temperature is the biggest problem with the high velocity cartridges if not given time enough to cool after several rounds. Large powder charges will push some un burnt powder through the throat causing erosion. Also a clean barrel seams to last longer than a dirty barrel because of the carbon left in the barrel and being scrubbed down the barrel by the bullet. Velocity does have an effect on barrel life but with care and time between shots it will make life better. A hunter that goes to the range, shoots a few rounds, and does not heat the barrel very much will have a lifetime rifle in most cases. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
