[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2632177, member: 30902"] And my point remains. It isn't velocity that eats barrels, it's heat and pressure. Moderate loads will give you more barrel life all else being equal. When I was hunting predators and varmints for several large ranches in NM I was new to reloading and I burned through 2-3 220 Swift barrels per year running in excess of 4,200fps on everything. When I moderated my loads a bit the barrels started lasting considerably longer. [/QUOTE]
