[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1568348, member: 12995"] Now it drops down to 500-700. Interesting...:rolleyes: Throat erosion is not the same as "barrel life". If the gun still shoots under MOA then it still has accurate barrel life. Also, why would you not care to know why it's not getting the type of barrel life you should be. Also, 90gr of powder is RUM charge weight terrirory... The Nosler is much shorter than the RUM. I don't think it will safely hold that much RL33, unless you're pushing 140's over 3,600 FPS... In which case, 500 rounds of barrel life sounds about right. But if you're shooting safe charge weights with 180-195 bullets in the 3K to 3,100 FPS range, and not shooting it hot, you should be getting 850+ with no problem, unless your barrel is crap, because of flaws in it's metallurgical alloy structure. The only reason I used MOA as a standard, was because that's considered hunting standard for manufacturers. [/QUOTE]
