[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 541333, member: 15748"] The 3,000 round figure for this combo is right in line with the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and an honest poliotician; a figment of someone's imagination. unless you're calling a two or three MOA barrel still viable, no, it'll be gone long before you get anywhere near that figure. I'd call it 1,000 rounds or thereabouts before losing the .5 MOA mark. Where you call a barrel "done" is up to the individual shooter, but there will be a noticable degradation in accuracy and a drastic increase in flyers by this point. As the Ramshot, double based powders generally run higher flame temps than do single based propellants. This can equate to shorter barrel life in some cases, and in others there doesn't seem to be much difference. All depends on the individual comparison. All other things considered, you won't see as much difference in barrel life caused by powders as you will between those caused by bullet weight and other factors. [/QUOTE]
