HMR Barrel life


Recommended Posts

Hay Guys, (dont we get any girls on here?)

I've read that 22LR barrels last and last because of the soft bullets and low pressures. Is the same tue of HMR with its higher pressures and copper cased bullets? How do you know if a barrel is worn out anyway?

Cheers,

Halam

As for firing rounds through the barrel your not gonna be worrieed about that, it'll take loads...

 

my main concern is what style of cleaning it got, bore snake only, or rods, if so are they the cheap split ones made from aluminium...?

 

if so they could wear the rifling no end if care is not taken...

 

if your in doubt take it to someone before you buy, or get a few shots through it before you buy to test accuracy...

 

if it wasn't given a good copper cleaning routine also it will need a good scrub out...

 

Atb.

 

Snap.

doesnt really burn enough powder to worry a barrel in hmr. as above tho as long as there looked after there last for years and years and years.

 

check the crown and have a good look in the chamber if this is very dirty your no then it hasnt been looked after
