being a dedicated p/dog shooter prob the last 25 yrs.......
Pac Nor has been my barrel of choice..Savage action & assemble myself
Had a 6BR I know I ran it 12K rds over 10 yrs...now retired but still kilt dogs @ 600 yds last day in the field
Shown in pic my ole 20 Vartarg (20 Fireball) 14 yrs & still running....pushing 10K rds & still flippin dogs
Some barrels are better than others....Pac Nor has been good to me
