[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1511896, member: 96226"] Everything has a purpose. I compete in a few different rifle sports. Some of them are full of guys that are all about any advantage you can get, including from velocity and the competitors there routinely run things from a bit warm to scalding hot. Some are games where 100fps more or less just won't mean anything and we look for other advantages. For me, barrels are a consumable. I'll go through 2-3 barrels a year anyway but that doesn't mean that I'll just burn one up for the sake of it. There has to be some real advantage in it for me to chase velocity. If I can get an extra season from a barrel without sacrificing much ballistically, I'll go with a softer load. All that said, I like my bullets like I like my women: tall, slender and fast. [/QUOTE]
