Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Barrel Life and the 6.5 Creedmore

On average how fast do you guys shoot. Typically I like 2 minutes between shots starting after the first round with sporter weight barrels and cartridges 22-250 and up. My 223 barrels get much less respect and though I have put some throat erosion on several 223 rifles I have yet to shoot one "out" of being able fulfill it's purpose. I think I am getting ready to go through a 7-08 phase so the Creedmoor will have to wait it's turn. I shoot no less than 200 rounds a week ( not on the same rifle generally) so I do put wear and tear on barrels. And average shoot for groups for me takes 20 minutes or a bit more for 10 shots.
