[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1155749, member: 10291"] It is good to hear an explanation based on your personal experience Kevin. I think it has been a conventional wisdom that the generally lower velocity of a heavier bullet for a given cartridge would be easier on the barrel, and therefore result in a longer barrel life. Your explanation of longer heat exposure is one that I have not heard. [/QUOTE]
