[QUOTE="flyinggage, post: 836435, member: 70346"] New here and will have some basics questions as my reading progresses. First one is can someone give me a good explanation of what it means when you season or condition your barrel; or, some twist on that concept. I have a m1a with a round count of 242 at this point and am curious as to how the concept applies. I have been fastidious in cleaning it out after each shooting. Also... When we are talking about the difference in FPS and the oft mentioned "well it is only 100 fps less", isn't that also a reference to velocity? As I understand it, the velocity is squared in the relation to physics when it comes to the sudden stop. Weight is the other component but often not as important. Am I missing something here or is there a glossing over of something should should be glossed over? WIth that said, I remember reading somewhere that a crusty old sgt. giving his opinion between the .308 vs. the 30-06. He said something to the effect that he was **** well happy he had the extra oomph in certain situation. Thanks in advance Pete [/QUOTE]
