Yup, now think about barrel life in a WinMag at 68,000 PSI at 70 degrees being shot in 120+ temps!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
