[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 385505, member: 15748"] Bob, You've already gotten some of the answers here, but there's one other warning that I'd throw out here; the Clark made its reputation with the heavy weight bullets, and that's what it was originally intended for. That's fine and dandy, and with a good heavy weight match bullet, it'll do wonderful things at long range. However, heavy bullets are harder on barrels than lighter ones, even if you're dropping the velocities and pressures accordingly. I'd say the 1,200 round figure you originally cited here is pretty optimistic, and would be happy (thrilled, in fact) to hit the thousand round mark with this combination. Always heard the old adage that"speed costs money; how fast you wanna go?" I'd amend that a bit to include distance, as in "long range costs money, how far you wanna shoot?"
