[QUOTE="Xjetmech, post: 2972788, member: 110837"] Getting back to the barrel life question: using single-shot firearms, instead of magazine fed, either factory made, or custom built, installing a single-shot floor plate, or just single round fed. These methods provide the shooter some options usually not found in a mag fed gun. Your rate of fire is reduced=more cool down time. Bullets don't need a tight crimp= pressures may be reduced, fps may be increased. Overall cartridge length may be increased=more powder capacity, longer bullets may be used, {depending on chamber/ throat dimensions}. A barrel/cartridge specific combination of these, may lead to greater accuracy, or even less recoil. I for one, have a Distinct dislike for recoil. I look at cartridges first, action type next, barrel contour, sight system, stock, [I prefer wood], and total weight. as I said, I Dislike recoil. Meld some of these, and you should find something to suit you. [/QUOTE]
