[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 152688, member: 7"] The .264 is like any other large volume case. They can be really tough on barrels, or not so tough on barrels. The problem with the .264WM, the .220 Swift, and others of this ilk, is the people that are attracted to these rounds, want the most velocity they can get (or they would get slower rounds). When these rounds are pushed to the edge, they can eat barrels in little time. 142 SMKs @ 3250, is WAY over max load and bound to eat up throats... doesn't mean it's "unsafe", just that it's a real mean load on barrels... loading manuals list 3,000 as max with this weight. If you load reasonable loads, you can get 1,200 to 1,500 rounds out of a barrel... just don't take it to a prairie dog town. . [/QUOTE]
