[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2221452, member: 87243"] If you want good fuel mileage and long tire life, get a prius, a fiesta or something like that. Expect low bills at the pump and long tire life. If you want to run a 10 second quarter mile or fly around a track, get a hellcat, Shelby mustang or something along those lines. Expect higher bills at the pump and short tire life. If you want an economical cartridge to shoot 270 bullets slow, get a .270 win. Expect low powder charges and long barrel life. If you dont care about cost and want to shoot 270 bullets fast, get a 27 nosler. Expect higher powder charges and shorter barrel life. Isn't 90 grains of H1000 pushing a 215 grain bullet down a. 308 hole at 3195 fps going to be hard on barrels? I haven't seen many people wear out a .308 win barrel, it lasts probably 4000 rounds or better. Isn't a 300 rum gonna be worse? See how this discussion could keep going round and round......barrel life of kind of one of those things, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't do it. Also, far too much weight is generally put on it. Most people I know that shoot much have more than one gun, one that is a high volume shooter, better on barrels and uses less components, and a hunting rifle, geared more around all out performance. For the performance guns, a good load is developed, and after that, the rifle is only shot periodically to confirm. Most other shooting is on the high volume gun. If one spends 150 rounds developing a good load, then shoots 50 rounds of practice a year, and 2-5 rounds taking game a year, even 600 rounds out of a barrel will easily last 8 years before a rebarrel is needed.
