[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1155753, member: 5302"] Kevin, thanks for showing up. 'Tis hard for me to remember all that good stuff Sierra's Martin Hull passed on to me decades ago. Should have written it down then. Also good stuff from Bo Clerke, Elmer Shook and Bill Stratmann back then. Yes indeed. Hadn't thought of this for a while. Except that the longer the bullet's bearing surface is for a given velocity and bullet diameter into the lands, the more time it spends wearing away the rifling using powder and primer residue as a lapping compound for each shot. At least by my thinking. [/QUOTE]
