[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 74349, member: 8947"] How far are you planning on target shooting? Accuracy requirements? If you want very long barrel life, then you need to reduce pressures and velocity. However, that doesn't always give you the 'feel' of recoil to practise control. One possibilities is cast bullets. The '06 comes to mind. You have a nice accurate cartridge that can be used in just about any hunting application when the appropriate bullets are applied. You can even get some very good LR performance and bullets are simply everywhere. now you can make or buy cast bullets from 180gr to 210gr. Reduced loads will still simulate the push for handling and can be very accurate, even when ranges go beyond 200yds. With gas checks, these bullets can reach 1800 to 2000fps. With a 210gr bullets, that is a nice firm push. These cast loads will extend your barrel life into the range you are looking for. When the need arises, you can always load some jacketed bullets either for target shooting or hunting. The larger the bore, the longer the throat life given a similar level of performance. Something to consider. Jerry [/QUOTE]
