I thought saw a thread about this but couldn't find it. If someone knows it's whereabouts please past this link there and delete.
Anyway, I saw this stress test10,000 rounds 4 different guns and 4 different ammo types. Thought some mightbe interested in looking over the data.

That was a good test with great info. I'm betting the barrels would have lived considerably longer if they had been allowed to cool more.

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
