I was wondering which calibers are known to use barrels more quickly than other calibres?
I heard that .270 and .243 use barrles quite quickly and you start seeing worse groping after several hundreds shots. My father in law which shoots quite a lot used to have 0.5" grouping from his old Mannlicher and it started to getting a bit worse afetr approximately 2-3k bullets from his 7x64 rifle. It is still not bad though, and I think his .30-06 Mannlicher after several hundreds of bullets through still shoots perfect.
Thanks,
Greg
