barrel life for .44 mag
7.62x39
Member Posts: 1,994 ✭✭✭✭✭
I was just reading up on some things about barrel life and I was thinking,
I have a henery big boy in .44 magnum, how long do you think it would take to have significant wear on the barrel?, I shoot jacketed and lead rounds through it.

Pressure and temperature don't reach high enough levels in the .44 Magnum to prematurely erode the barrel like some of the super magnum rifle cartridges do.
Shoot it and enjoy it. Follow the advice from the other posters about cleaning.

7.62 is now acting snooty.
