[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1911384, member: 105459"] [I] Any firearm can become a barrel burner if loaded to max or over max recepies. It has been documented that the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge when loaded to maximum or near maximum capacities can literally erode barrel chamber throats . However not as bad as some of the other magnums when loaded the same way. ( to max or near max capacity) Bullet neck tension and seating depth as well brass shoulder and case belt thickness and the condition of the cases themselves to a varying degree also create pressure and at 50,000 - 60,000 PSI which may result in throat erosion.[B] (typically more so on the upper end of these figures)[/B] These facts I'm certain you are already aware of. In that light I am simply stating that in order to optimize your barrels chamber as well as throat life, I would not and have not needlessly subjected my firearms to any undue increase of pressure for the sole purpose of an increase in Muzzle Velocity alone ! To that end I have found a blended load which I explained above to use safely and comfortably in order achieve a more enjoyable as well as satisfying shooting experience. In doing so I also strive to achieve my chronographed lowest ES, and SDs possible.[/I] [B]However there are always exceptions.[/B] [I] If you were developing a load to use for extreme long distance hunting / shooting where you need that extra 200 - 300 FPS of Muzzle Velocity well then finalize your load development and proceed accordingly. Make certain to document your dope on these rounds and package it respectively along with these cartridge's , or perhaps on your rifles but stock in order to differentiate between loads I would mark theses loaded rounds and only use them if conditions mandate and not as a go to every day round. For the above reasons I would concur in your gaining as much muzzle velocity as you safely can achieve.[/I] [B][I]Now you have the best of both worlds.![/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
