[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2883610, member: 126985"] Yes, that is about right...lots of powder down a smaller bore, just erodes barrels. I felt that the Stainless Steel barrel to erode faster than regular CM steel barrels. And hammer forged machinesgun steel and hammer forged in general will out last SS in pulled or cut rifling, that many of us use as the cut rifling seems to have an accuracy edge in stainless steel. Stainless barrel steel is easier to machine, than hamer forged and CM steel, and get good finishes. I just rechambered an old hammer forged barrel, with 8000 308 Win rds on it, and reprofiled it for AR 15 project. A little fire cracking is still left in the throat, but the rest of the barrel is nice and smooth...it was free, and good for experimental purposes, and it was still accurate after 8000 rds. Can't prove any of those observations, but it's just what I observed over the years of shooting and chambering different barrels. If ya want to shoot many thousands of rds with accuracy with one barrel get a 308 Win. High Performance cost, like a race car... a few runs, and it's time to rebuild. [/QUOTE]
