[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 428937, member: 10"] Michael, Certainly you know me well enough by now to know that I fully realize nothing is set in stone so your comments do not suprise me at all. I have also seen certain barrels give up the ghost MUCH sooner then they should have even when cared for properly. In my opinion, that has more to do with a certain barrels alloy make up because on average, if you do not overheat a quality barrel it will last a long time. I have seen some factory SS barrels let go in a couple hundred rounds. To be honest, I feel alot of this has to do with the throat length and diameter. They are loose enough in the throat that it allows the hot gases to blow by the bullets sidewalls and this flame cuts the throat and the origins of the rifling MUCH more then if the throat is cut to precisely match the bullet diameter. I personally believe that throat fit is one of the most important aspects to a good throat life. NO problem at all not agreeing with me 100%. There are always experiences that others have had that we all learn from. Thats whats great about this site, all the telling and sharing that goes on. Offers huge amounts of education to all of us and I fully understand my experience is a small part of the vast experience on this site and I am glad to share my tests with whoever wants to read them and hope others chip in with all their experience as you have, I learn just as much from that as well. Thanks for your reply and imput. [/QUOTE]
