does that mean a slower velocity bullet would wear the barrel out quicker since it takes longer to leave the barrel ? how about 5 vs 6 groove. i wonder if he was using lead or copper or poly coated bullets. theres a lot more variables then explained there isn't there ? still, some toast with this coffee would be great

I shoot 1025fps subsonic .22 out of my FV-SR, so the bullet spends more time in the barrel than the 3000fps ammo in the article.

I may as well go ahead and spread some strawberry jelly on my barrel! LOL

I've heard that match barrels wear out faster. Is that true compared to a normal riffle? What is the difference between the two?
