[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2457703, member: 8394"] Did some playing with big bore 22 cals chasing 5 with 40 grain b tips. Didn't really get over 4600 at the time, but didn't have access to the new pixie powders we have now. It was harder on barrels than chasing 4k with 55s, like lots and lots harder. Don't get me wrong, I view barrels like rear tires on a dodge hellcat they are there to wear. I've smoked barrels in a week aggressively chasing whistle pigs with 7 rums, 6x284s and the like. With all that said, chasing 5 k killed them so fast it was hard to rationalize. The relatively small bore and powder column might save you, but it was a bummer getting 4600 after a few load workups only to scope and see throat erosion to that magnitude. That said.... life is short barrels are cheap and who doesn't love a burnout competition.. [/QUOTE]
