[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 284422, member: 1007"] As has been stated, the 243 is not barrel friendly. Some may argue that heavier bullets cause more damage and others argue lighter faster ones cause more damage. An overbore cartridge is an overbore cartridge. You cannot save the life of a barrel in an overbore cartridge by using one bullet over the next. If you want better barrel life, use a bigger bore. Improper cleaning can wear a barrel out faster than shooting as well. Also, using too much amonia for too long a time can cause damage as well. I dont even let a bottle of sweets or similar even look at my barrels anymore. Abrasive cleaners should also be kept to a minimum. One peice coated or solid carbon rods should always be used and kept clean. Bore guids are a must and DONT use patches that are extreemly tight fitting. [/QUOTE]
