[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2079909, member: 29241"] You named some cartridges that would require the bolt to be opened up, which would also need new extractor. I have tried many different cartridges from 40 grain capacity to 122 grain capacity. I need to be careful in saying this, but I have not really run into a"barrel burning" cartridge. Yes, some erode faster than others, but it seems that quick strings that heat up the barrel seem to be more detrimental to erosion. But, it is easy to change bullet seating depth as the lands move outward. Most rifles are not shot enough to "burn out" the barrel. A well known barrel maker told me most barrels that seem to be burned out are usually just fouled. It was mentioned of one .308 that had almost 10,000 round and could no longer get to the riflings and bullet was barely into the neck. However, after all of this, I would like to recommend a chambering to go with. The 30-06. You can get great brass, it is not overbore, it is well balanced and accurate. It will shoot 150 grain bullet at 3000 fps and has enough case capacity to shoot bigger bullets for almost any type of hunting. [/QUOTE]
