[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1153837, member: 1521"] I would certainly send it to anyone who asks for it. I can't post a spreadsheet(even a tiny one) here. barrelnut, the linked article and spreadsheet posted was a very early version that site had snatched up in error. I've asked them to replace it, they said they would, but apparently haven't. There was an issue with life adjustment related to moly, and with an extreme underbore(the 30br). So years ago I fixed it, and dropped the moly specific adjustment, because few still use moly, and fewer still know how to do so without actually shortening barrel life. This reminds of another factor that cannot be included: CLEANING The base formula did come from Bart I believe(thanks Bart). That was a helluva long time ago. Since then I watched and queried for every posting & reporting of barrel life at pretty much all forums for over 10yrs. Slowly but surely the formula was enhanced until passing all credible tests. I have not seen an outright failure in it's prediction since(and I've watched for quite a while). It's not going to give you an answer you believe or want. But it will give you truths, relative if you wish. There is an extending adjustment field available for those who have had their barrels melonite treated. There is not enough information available yet about barrel life there. Some are hopeful it will double, or triple barrel life. All of MY future barrels(and actions) will be treated. Anyway, email me for a copy so that I can simply reply with it attached. [/QUOTE]
