[QUOTE="a10xrifle, post: 586624, member: 937"] with respect to the Militarys testing, there comparison would be to the service life of an M-4 and or M249 Etc, so if they were to get any extention at all you could expect that the life of a Bolt action rifle / Long range rifle to also see some form of Extention of life. Im sure most of you guys know this but ill say it so those that dont are on the same page, The wear in bolt action rifles comes from heat, The Heat is about 95% gererated by the 58,000 to 67,000 PSI chamber pressure which is released at the highest pressures to the freebore and throat areas of the chamber/barrel. The burning powder is a slight factor but its basicly just the cadalist for the Pressure/Heat. the remaining 5% comes from friction (bullet moving down the bore compressed by the lands.) If the Militarys testing favored the extention of life it would in fact cross over to bolt guns as well. How much???? well that goes back to the lack of testing. I have yet have any shooters tell me that Melonite gave them X number round count better than their previous barrel. When that starts happening ill be the first to tell. [/QUOTE]
