[QUOTE="Varmintnv, post: 1295586, member: 21378"] Back in the day, the .22-250 was considered a barrel burner. Now it's the 2nd most recommended varmint cartridge lagging only slightly behind the .223. Yet I've gotten over 2000rnds out of a .22-250. And that was pushing 50gr NBT right at 3700fps. Times and opinions change! I currently have a 28 Nosler being built by Pac-Nor. I went with a 9" twist and the barrel at 25" without the brake. I have no intentions of shooting 195 Bergers, but plan on shooting 160-175gr bullets for hunting purposes. Will I ever shoot 120gr bullets? HELL YEA!! Can you imagine a 120gr VMAX traveling at 3700fps and smacking a rockchuck/ground hog!! LOL Will I shoot lots of 120gr bullets? No, maybe 15 a year. But even if it only lasts me 800rnds, That's alot of years deer/elk/antelope hunting considering the average big game hunting rifle sees less than 50rnds a year. And here in Nevada, where all tags are on a draw system, this rifle could last the rest of my life! [/QUOTE]
