NOTE: The charges being discussed are ONLY to be used in custom rifles, proofed for those charges. These charges should never be used in production rifles or rifles who's manufacturer doesn't list them as an exceptable charge. Read your owners manual and follow all safety warnings.

When you say your shooting four cases of powder a year, is that all pellets or a mixture of powders? Your gonna end up shooting/wearing out that barrel I would think.

I'm on my 4th case of pellets this year. Last year was more as it was a mixture. I've shot up to 2,000 rounds each year in the last 10yrs since retirement. I know a couple shooters who have fired well over 10,000 rounds through their rifles and haven't worn out the barrel or the original breech plug.
