Learn why the life of your rifle barrel is entirely dependent upon you, from the moment of intelligent cartridge selection, to how it's fired. You may be destroying your own barrel right now! In this video, I will explain what eventually kills most barrels, and how it can be prevented for a lifetime of enjoyable, accurate shooting.

I spent 20 years as a remote duty Deputy Sheriff before retirement. The man that taught me reloading was over 70 when we met many years ago. I feel fortunate to have learned many of the "forgotten" older ways of doing things. I would take my lunch hour at his house every day. This gentlemen reminds me of him. I am grateful i found this channel. Thank you sir!

Leftist, gun hating animal rights losers probably don''t even turn on the video but put a negative rating. On 2nd thought, most of them might have been plugged in internally by youtube leftist management. They shadow ban and demonetize the conservative channels, so my bet is that this is who probably created 40+ negative clicks on this & the gun video's. Follow the X22 channel etc.... they have confirmation of stories about Google, FB, Y-tb doing worse.

Literally over 80% of Cali territory is owned and populated by conservatives. Most of them pro-gun. HOWEVER the populations of the 15-20% of the state, which includes L.A., S.F. and Sacramento who tend to vote heavily Democratic, dominate our State elections. Its a real travesty. CA is not being represented properly or evenly. Plus the amount of illegal immigrants that are registered to vote(Because they were given drivers licenses by DMV who also registers people to vote) is absolutely astronomical. We have soo many non-Americans, voting in our Elections. Its sick! Please judge our Democratic politicians for that crap. Not CA.

@@Nick-wn1xw What the hell do you expect us to do? When the Dems took over majority once, they structured the voting system to where only the popular vote counts. As of right now, California gun laws are not as near as bad as NY, NJ, CT, Hawaii, D.C. and parts of Illinois. Why do not people always crack on them instead. California also has more pro-gun people throughout the state than any other state except maybe Texas. But we dont matter to most of the country, and thats fine. Just shows that some "Patriots" are not Patriots at all. I am a Patriot. I will fight for EVERY SINGLE Red Blooded American, no exceptions. People look at California as a whole even though most of the state is actually red. So when Texas turns blue should I blame all Texans? Should we blame every single Canadian for their recently passed Gun Control? Also, the tax we pay on everything goes to funding the states gun control programs. The Democrats have literally structured the state to where every citizen here is funding the Democrat politicians and what they want to do. There is almost nothing we can do because we arent importing voters from Mexico and all around the world and giving them Drivers licenses so they can vote. There is really only 1 option and nobody wants that. But it is coming. Support your fellow gun owners and pro gun patriots. The infighting and bashing states as a whole is not helping anything. I have a life here, I cannot just pull the stakes and move, as much as I hate to live here. But without us, just imagine how much worse it would be. There will be some sort of Cali conflict by the year 2024, I DO know that. We will NOT tolerate all out gun parts regulation/registration when it goes into affect in 2024. That will be the straw breaking the camels' back.

I really appreciate your knowledge and experience in the shooting sports. I am also a Vietnam vet, have hunted elk, mule deer and pronghorn in Colorado since 1960. Matching the caliber and proper handloads with the quarry have given me much satisfaction, to be sure! This particular piece on barrel longivity reminds me of one of another of my pet peeves and that is being under-gunned esp. when it comes to elk. I see so many supposed "experts" who espouse the .243 cal. as a great cartridge for that species. If people do in fact go to the field with this intending to harvest elk they don't understand that elk deserve respect to use a caliber such as a 7mm or better that is much more capable of killing the elk rather than simply punching a small cal. hole and having the animal get away. thanks!!

I have an AR with an echo trigger, i'v already considered that barrel to be probably dying, but it's fun and I don't care on that particular AR (plus AR barrels are easy to change). the most i'v done was a string of 8, 30 round mags in quick succession (the echo trigger fires on pull and release. I can expend an entire mag before half of the casings will hit the ground). Now I kinda want to try and see just how accurate it is now. I plan on abusing that rifle more and like I said before, it's not a concern to burn out that barrel, and il prob keep shooting it as I am even after the gun is technically burnt out so long as it's safe.

I always find myself coming back here over the years when some new detail peaks my interest. Really appreciate you taking the time to cover all these subjects. By the way I own a 7x57 which I absolutely love. It's a german made spanish mauser and it's become my favorite deer rifle. Where I hunt in VA I'm lucky to get a 150 yard shot so my open sights work just fine (although they are upgraded from the original military grade sights. God bless

I've shot the 22-250, the .338 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag guns and fall back to enjoying shooting a .222 Remington. In a heavy barrel gun it's a dream, all rounds can go into one hole. The gun kicks very little and the report is just a boom. Even in a T/C it's so very accurate. It's a shame the .223 pulled the rug on the triple duce, it's my favorite round for fun shooting. As for pistols, I enjoy shooting .38 and .357 rounds but practice with lead bullet loads sailing at around 850 fps, just a pleasure to shoot and the barrel remains fairly cool. My trick is to bring two guns and alternate between them, especially pistols. I totally agree with you about heat and taking your time shooting. It's not a race, it's about practice and hitting the target. My family had enormous fun shooting a old Marlin 35 Rem which I loaded .357 FP jacketed bullets in at reduced charges, as a practice round. Everyone loved that gun where later sadly it was traded away. Heat is definitely the gun barrels enemy.

First, Great to listen to you. Your 100% right about barrel wear. 35 years ago i loaded up my 300 wm with 150s and shoot gophers along with a 22-250 and a Dan Wesson 44 mag. Lucky to shoot a 2 inch group with the 300 now. Here in Montana we can shoot elk and deer in the same season. Also when we do shoot a elk or deer its possible we are ringing the dinner bell for a Griz. I now carry a 300wsm just because it was cheaper to buy a new rifle then to re barrel my old ruger. I would feel under gunned with anything less. I am 66 and have been reloading since i was 13 and still learn a lot from watching your channel. Thank you!

@@timlaw219 For gun reviews, I don't always agree with Nutnfancy but he at least gets out into the real world to do his shooting and does a lot of it before he draws conclusions. He has a methodical approach to reviews that annoys some but I think is useful. He also doesn't do stupid things like mag dumps or "torture tests". Channels I ignore now are Hickok45, Military Arms Channel, and Sootch00 -- sometimes entertaining but not very informative.

No comparison between the 300 mag and a 308. That's like someone saying to use a .223 minimum and you say, "Yeah, my 22 LR is what I like too!" Not sure why anyone would look at you funny for using a 308 though. Just your average middle of the road weapon. Fine for hunting, but nothing big or special.

Just found your channel, I like all the knowledge you share here. In my life I have gone through a few barrels. The number one cause in barrel wear is I proper cleanibg! People attack the barrel with a multi peice aluminum rod thats never been cleaned, they use no bore guide or one that doesn't fit. People run dirty brushes in them and scrub the heck out of them. We've been taught by the military or our family to scrub out the fouling by being aggressive. A good bore guide will prevent the cleaning rod from scraping the lead and throat. Next the muzzle crowm gets damaged as we pull that brush all the way out and pull it back across the crown. I shoot lots of praire dogs each year and bring at least 4 rifles most times 6, but I know that I will burn out barrels at the rate of 1500 rounds on my "hot guns" and 3000 to 5000 rounds on normal varmit cartridges. Lastly we need to keep the gunsmith's working, along with barrel makers.
