[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1784017, member: 30902"] Here's my big issue with barrel burners. A guy can easily run through 150-200rds just breaking one in and getting the "perfect load" worked up. How many of us ever stop playing with them though when we get that "just right load"? There goes another couple of hundred rounds. Next thing you know that real smoker has been smoked and that "once in a lifetime" rifle is just a burnt out stove pipe in a really nice stock. Then you're looking at 6 months to a year or more to get it rebarreld and easily upwards of 800.00-1,500.00 by the time you get it rebarreled and then you have to start the whole process over. If a guy had the money I'd say build them in identical pairs so you'd always have one "ready to go" but that gets even more expensive. [/QUOTE]
