[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1945513, member: 109113"] Your comments about cool-down are right on the mark. My 22-250 gave up the ghost after my buddy used it to burn up a prairie dog town. My buddy's 22-250 is still going strong after a couple of decades of woodchuck hunting. The difference ? High-volume shooting overheating the barrel. When hunting woodchucks, a guy might shoot a half a dozen rounds in a morning, usually with lots of time between shots. In a PD town, there's no telling how many shots you might take back-to-back. With a cartridge that burns a lot of powder through a tiny little hole in the end, it's pretty easy to fry a barrel. If you shoot once every half hour, the same cartridge behaves quite differently in that regard. You found out with your 264 what I found out with my 22-250. [/QUOTE]
