[QUOTE="uncle_motorhead, post: 1973688, member: 13108"] So a 27" barrel I'd expect a velocity gain. But I still have some Lazzeroni Lazerheads in 120 gr that exit at 3850 fps from a 24" 7 Rem Mag, 4050 from the 26" Firebird, but only 3900 from the 26" 7 RUM. These were Barnes X bullets made undersized then grooved and coated with Robar NP3. Though I saw substantial gain with the 7mm's, the 150 gr 30 cal Lazerheads didn't see the same boost. You may not either. I like tough light mono's that leave extremely fast vs slow heavy ones. My "Long Range Hunting" is under 500 yards, so the light lazers work better than the heavy for me. If you are worried about short barrel life, try front ignition loading. Keeps the powder burning in the case, instead of bouncing down the barrel. [/QUOTE]
