Matt234 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi does anyone have any experience with the barrel life of a 17 fireball? I'm wondering if it's worth replacing my HMR with one as my bunnies and occasional fox rifle does anyone have experience of burning one out or know someone that has?

Alycidon Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 There is a web site that will predict the life. http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/excel-formula-predicts-useful-barrel-life/ Burn rate will depend on how hot you load it hence the powder section.
