[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2631811, member: 11960"] I think the specific bullet used will have a pretty minimal impact on barrel life in most circumstances. I don’t think shooting a Hammer bullet at 4000 fps will be significantly harder on a barrel than a similar weight lead core bullet at 4000 fps if the same powder is used. That’s a hard theory to test though since Hammers are often shot with a slightly faster powder than the same weight lead core bullet. Of course, if I could afford to burn up a barrel shooting only monometal bullets, regardless of the brand, I don’t think I’d worry about barrel life. [/QUOTE]
