[QUOTE="H59, post: 1872151, member: 105268"] I can vouch for the barrel life being quite good. I'm on my 3rd barrel now and was able to get 2000 plus from my first one(bartlien m24-1/8- 26") didn't run it hard at all shot mostly 147eld-m at 2940fps - 2960fps...now that barrel was shot out when I pulled it but I hadn't had much fps fall off but groups were opening up. The 2nd barrel was another bartlien but a heavy varmint 1/8 twist - 24" I ran it hard. Shot back to back 10 shot groups etc.Getting 3050 - 3070fps with 147eld-m's...got little over 1600 when groups started opening up and velocity was steadily lowering-while shooting the same load I had been running i was getting b/n 3010fps & 3020fps... It's a good chamber design and with the new heavy high b.c. bullets out there today it's a solid choice for running them with good velocity and consistently accurate platform to do it, and for a variety of use's...
