[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 667821, member: 10"] Amen! My sentiments exactly. I have some excellent shooters that have been that for many years that are considered barrel burning junk in many discussions here and elsewhere. Take care of your rifle and it will take care of you.[/QUOTE] Ya you have some BARREL BURNERS for sure!!!:D As you are likely well aware of from years back here on LRH, when I came up with some of my Allen Magnum wildcats, I was pretty much told they were a waste of money because you would burn the barrel out before you could ever find a good consistant load. that was mainly concerning my 270 AM and 7mm AM.
