[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2855668, member: 115299"] I respectfully disagree. I own two +P chambered rifles the 338 and a 280 AI. It is exactly because of the reduced pressure that the barrel last longer.If you are really pushing it then a reduced barrel life is to be expected. I can run 300s at 2900 but the accuracy node is at between 2750-2850 with more than enough energy and velocity to kill an elk beyond a grand, so why would I push it harder than that. Further more to get a standard chamber to duplicate the +p you have to push up the pressure thus prematurely eroding the throat. Either way you go there is a trade off. For me the +P is a fairly ingenious design and like Ackley substantially improves the performance of some cartridges. The terminator by design has a +P chamber as do many LR competition rounds. My chamber gets me 200-250 fps over a standard chamber and around 100 fps over the edge. JMTs [/QUOTE]
