[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2122797, member: 33622"] Lol here, you realize when a guy admits what an idiot he is or has been on a forum like this, one could just as well be in central park with his pants around his ankles. When I first got into LR shooting, I went to a 7 saum, with 70gr of VV N570, I was pushing a 180 hybrid at 3160, 27" barrel. The powder had just came out for the most part, 2010 maybe, and decided for myself, this is the norm. My primer pockets on my 500 pcs of brass were just as tight after 6 firings as they were new, no pressure indicators at all. Down the road I figured where my safety net was, to divulge that here would be pointing fingers, not doing it. My 2nd was my first 6,5 creed, before it was cool. With 44gr of RL, I was pushing a 140 hybrid at 2975, 24" barrel. That lot of Hornady brass was in fact the only Hornady brass that was good. Not one pressure sign, even in 90 deg heat. Once you are in the mindset that pushing things to the limit is kosher, it will eventually bite. For me, it came in 6SLR, for this case you really need cheap brass, or use premium and spend most of your time cleaning it up after forming. So Win brand it is, on 2nd firing of every pc of brass fired, either gassing the primers, or decapping them on the spot. I was shooting 110 Sierra's at 3085 fps. It took over 600 pcs of brass formed to get 1300 rds from the barrel. Of course we are all different, and learn differently, but it seemed once I was into stupid, and stupid was working, it became the norm. When I pass out advice, it is usually from experience, but am capable of using the common sense card also, (if I have any credibility left after this). I could have told the op here he was about to make mistakes, but I know for myself it can be done, so today I try back guys out of uber speeds. Whether or not I said anything logical in this thread is subjective. Shooting world IMO is one of the biggest industries where conjecture rules. This to me is a fact, based on experience, I get no better barrel life from a moderate load, than I do a hot load. And just by rd counts, I am correct in saying that is how it is for me. BUT, have I figured in all the outliers correctly to actually make that statement to you? You were 100% spot on telling the OP or whoever will listen, that when seeking advice be fully prepared and capable of sorting it. [/QUOTE]
