[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 284406, member: 313"] The theory that heavier bullets with less powder will give increased barrel life would be disputed by some shooters. I've heard some say that heavier bullets keep the initial flame temperature and pressure at the throat for a longer period of time. Thus resulting in less usable bore life. I really don't know if either theory is correct or if they would make much difference. I shoot whatever I want and extend barrel life by NEVER shooting the barrels hot and by cleaning regularly while using coated rods and bore guides. [/QUOTE]
