As far as getting bulges in the barrel, I hope it will never happen to me.
It won't, provided you don't charge "max charges" and load"monster bullets"
I don't think I'm gonna need a bullet bigger than 250gr and loads more than 100gr pushing it for whitetails or do I?
That's plenty of powder. You can load that gun (using less powder)with loads which yield 1/3 the pressure of "max charge", "monster bullet" loads, which are capable of taking dangerous game like grizzly and buffalo.
Be sensible with your new rifle. If you do,you won't have any bulged barrels and you will kill your whitetails just as dead as anyone with a T/C, Knight, or White.
Good Luck, Phil
