I've been using an 03A3 and am Israeli Mauser in a steel plate match twice a year for several years. I've been using 860 and three grains of 3031 as a booster with jacketed bullets. This spring's match I'll finally come around to using cast bullets with the same 860/3031. I've stuck with 860 for it's wonderful accuracy and lower recoil.
THe problem is shooting 28 rounds in two to three minutes. Will the heat, the barrels really blaze, damage the barrels? How fast will they shoot out? Got any ideas? I've figured the winnings from the matches have paid for replacing the barrels over and over (I've placed in the winning many times) but I can't help thinking about ruining the rifles.
