[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 712455, member: 8"] With thin skinned, high SD bullets, you have to watch the compression and velocity and twist. All three can destroy a bullet or mutilate it enough to destroy accuracy. Hopefully Berger will have a thicker jacket or a harder alloy core for the bullet to ensure structural stability. The 3 groove barrel irregardless of maker have a high compression. They destroy bullets in many different calibers if high velocity is involved. I shoot a 7 AM in a 1-9 twist four groove Lilja and the old Richard Graves thin jacketed Wildcat 200s at a velocity of about 3350 fps and have about 300+ rounds down the barrel. I have to clean the barrel every 15 - 20 rounds or accuracy goes a way and it begins to eat bullets. Getting the carbon ring in the throat cleaned up is the most important thing. This year I believe I shot a total of six round through the rifle and one of those was at an animal. If I wish to have a high round count down a barrel I use a 308. [/QUOTE]
