[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1271275, member: 4566"] I used to build two kinds of guns. Turtle shooters and coyote/deer rigs. Turtle guns were shot in hot weather and hundreds of shots a day at times. Since the turtles were from 800 to 2500 yds I always shot pretty hot stuff. I would smoke 4+ barrels a summer and yet after the turtles went to bed I would run a hunting barrel for the winter. My hunting barrels would last 5+ yrs. Turtle barrels? 2 months. Got 50% to twice as many rounds on the hunting barrels. Of course I never ran over 2 or 3 shots an hr on them and the accuracy requirements for hitting a whitetail in the vitals to 800 yds are way different from shooting small turtles off of logs past 800.
