[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 541223, member: 1521"] I doubt it. Faster/hotter powders expose the bore to heat for less time, but it's more peak heat. Slower/cooler powders expose the bore to less peak heat, but for a longer duration. This I believe, is why powder AMOUNT to a given bore ID is dominant in barrel life. You just can't wiggle things much beyond this, and no matter what you do a 6x284 will burn up with a low shot count. The best you can do is allow the bore to cool between shots. NO HOT GROUP SHOOTING. Assuming it's for hunting, I would focus on cold bore accuracy. [/QUOTE]
