[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1216083, member: 2736"] I have never considered a barrel as a consumable, but it is a good idea. I am my own worst enemy and stray from the mild cartridges that don't eat up barrels because like others I like to know the limits and benefits of a cartridge and do a bit of experimenting. I realize that barrel life will suffer but except that as a downside and something I have to live with. I don't, however believe in excessive pressure to get what velocity I am targeting, so I guess I consider the barrel a consumable (Hadn't though of it that way before). also By not loading excessive pressures I get good brass life and don't work the action hard. The fastest I ever shot out a barrel was around 600 rounds (My fault for the velocity I was trying to achieve and still maintain good accuracy. This was the last rifle that I ever expected more than it was capable of from it and decided to change my philosophy. Being able to re barrel my own rifles, I do have a different outlook than someone that has to rely on someone else to replace there barrel. Interesting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
