Ahh back in the day when M60 machine-gun equipment kits came with a spare barrel and an asbestos glove for the Number 2 gunner to swap out the hot barrel. I remember it well.

I know. I inherited an old .38 smith and Wesson revolver from my grandmother when she passed. The gun had never been cleaned and wasn’t working correctly. I watched his tutorial on how to take apart and clean a revolver and did it myself which is no easy first time task. His videos made it possible. This guy is great
Leftist, gun hating animal rights losers probably don''t even turn on the video but put a negative rating. On 2nd thought, most of them might have been plugged in internally by youtube leftist management. They shadow ban and demonetize the conservative channels, so my bet is that this is who probably created 40+ negative clicks on this & the gun video's. Follow the X22 channel etc.... they have confirmation of stories about Google, FB, Y-tb doing worse.
@@conservativesniperhunter7439 Damn, I forgot about that wimp communist freak and his followers. Although from what I saw of his so called rallies, he doesn't have much of a following. Hell, pocahonky has a bigger following lol.
@@tacticalcoffee7397 Whats that supposed to mean? I have met some of the most pro-gun people here in CA. Most people do not understand CA. Literally over 80% of Cali territory is owned and populated by conservatives. Most of them pro-gun. HOWEVER the populations of the 15-20% of the state, which includes L.A., S.F. and Sacramento who tend to vote heavily Democratic, dominate our State elections. Its a real travesty. CA is not being represented properly or evenly. Plus the amount of illegal immigrants that are registered to vote(Because they were given drivers licenses by DMV who also registers people to vote) is absolutely astronomical. We have soo many non-Americans, voting in our Elections. Its sick! Please judge our Democratic politicians for that crap. Not CA.
@Van Guard What the hell do you expect us to do? When the Dems took over majority once, they structured the voting system to where only the popular vote counts. As of right now, California gun laws are not as near as bad as NY, NJ, CT, Hawaii, D.C. and parts of Illinois. Why do not people always crack on them instead. California also has more pro-gun people throughout the state than any other state except maybe Texas. But we dont matter to most of the country, and thats fine. Just shows that some "Patriots" are not Patriots at all. I am a Patriot. I will fight for EVERY SINGLE Red Blooded American, no exceptions. People look at California as a whole even though most of the state is actually red. So when Texas turns blue should I blame all Texans? Should we blame every single Canadian for their recently passed Gun Control? Also, the tax we pay on everything goes to funding the states gun control programs. The Democrats have literally structured the state to where every citizen here is funding the Democrat politicians and what they want to do. There is almost nothing we can do because we arent importing voters from Mexico and all around the world and giving them Drivers licenses so they can vote. There is really only 1 option and nobody wants that. But it is coming. Support your fellow gun owners and pro gun patriots. The infighting and bashing states as a whole is not helping anything. I have a life here, I cannot just pull the stakes and move, as much as I hate to live here. But without us, just imagine how much worse it would be. There will be some sort of Cali conflict by the year 2024, I DO know that. We will NOT tolerate all out gun parts regulation/registration when it goes into affect in 2024. That will be the straw breaking the camels' back.
I really appreciate your knowledge and experience in the shooting sports. I am also a Vietnam vet, have hunted elk, mule deer and pronghorn in Colorado since 1960. Matching the caliber and proper handloads with the quarry have given me much satisfaction, to be sure! This particular piece on barrel longivity reminds me of one of another of my pet peeves and that is being under-gunned esp. when it comes to elk. I see so many supposed "experts" who espouse the .243 cal. as a great cartridge for that species. If people do in fact go to the field with this intending to harvest elk they don't understand that elk deserve respect to use a caliber such as a 7mm or better that is much more capable of killing the elk rather than simply punching a small cal. hole and having the animal get away. thanks!!
You sir are a breath of fresh air to the gun community...really enjoy your knowledge and no nonsense approach. Listen to the master folks! Keep up the great work, the gun community needs more like you.👍 God bless.
I just discovered this guy and MAN do I like his demeanor and presentation of the subject. He is very articulate and the way he presents his opinions give you confidence that his views are from solid, first-hand knowledge.
Thank you for the thoughtful video. I chose the 308win caliber in part because of longer barrel life, but also because that caliber reliably kills large hogs without destroying a lot of meat. All of your videos are very nicely done.
This guy is the best! Great knowledge. No hype. No tacticool. Straight knowledge from experience and science! A greatly needed resource in today's market!
Well said sir, you make nothing but sense. When ever I need real advise about any shooting subjects I look for your videos. Keep up the fine job you are doing.
New is not always better. The 30-06 was designed for sustained fire and this proven round can hang with any of the new kids on the block. That deer does not know if it has been hit with a bullet going 3200 fps or 2800 fps, but your barrel will know. This man takes technical issues and reduces them to common sense. Great video.
I have a 07 FFL and have been through 2 Gunsmithing schools (one online one brick and mortar) (unfortunately never got a chance to apprentice due to there being no local shops near me) and I appreciate your videos. I believe this is the third one I've stumbled across and Everytime I learn things that I'm in awe were never taught to me like the pressure effect. So I wanted to thank you for providing your knowledge and experience. I actively am tracking down books and trying to learn more quickly because I understand how big of a disadvantage I'm at, and believe watching your videos may also help fill in some of those gaps. Thank you
This is just like listening to my dad. My dad did everything with a 45 ACP a 30-30 a 4570 and a 30 odd 6. These Old-Timers knew all about Barrel wear. They knew what Heat could do to steel. I love listening to this man. Life has gotten way too out of control. Even when I was a young man in the army I kept by 16 on semi auto. Better accuracy and less wasted ammo. That's the way I was taught about dads Garand. God bless
@@timlaw219 Solid Hesco beat me to it. Paul Harrell for sure; great job of separating fact from fiction. Small Arms Solutions for historical background on weapons. Forgotten Weapons for background on (mostly) obsolete or out-of-production guns. Edit: Withdrawing my recommendation for Small Arms Solutions. I watched several of his videos last night and noted several errors of fact and a lot of opinion unsupported by facts.
@@timlaw219 For gun reviews, I don't always agree with Nutnfancy but he at least gets out into the real world to do his shooting and does a lot of it before he draws conclusions. He has a methodical approach to reviews that annoys some but I think is useful. He also doesn't do stupid things like mag dumps or "torture tests". Channels I ignore now are Hickok45, Military Arms Channel, and Sootch00 -- sometimes entertaining but not very informative.
All my life (mid teens to 30’s) I have always tried to seek out advice and mentorship from older more experienced people. There is just nothing like getting schooled by an old timer. Thank you sir.
Life of barrel is same as our own life! Drink one or two beers per day will not wear you out so much. But drink 10 or 20 beer then your heart rifling will not last long 😂
I have an AR with an echo trigger, i'v already considered that barrel to be probably dying, but it's fun and I don't care on that particular AR (plus AR barrels are easy to change). the most i'v done was a string of 8, 30 round mags in quick succession (the echo trigger fires on pull and release. I can expend an entire mag before half of the casings will hit the ground). Now I kinda want to try and see just how accurate it is now. I plan on abusing that rifle more and like I said before, it's not a concern to burn out that barrel, and il prob keep shooting it as I am even after the gun is technically burnt out so long as it's safe.
@@jonathanfranck357 - When I was in the Army, the Officers Club at Ft. Hamilton (Brooklyn) was selling mixed drinks (in 1965) for 60 cents, and a bottle of beer was 25 cents. After I got out of the Army I quit drinking, it was just too much money.
Thank you for the shared Knowledge sir ! 0311 Rifleman here and I wish the Marine corps taught us this information here ! Your information is so Valuable!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public. Your method of presentation makes it easy to understand, and your delivery has a flow that holds our attention. It drives me crazy when anyone puts a tutorial or educational video up, and can't seem to stay on topic, or constantly skips back and forth on different subjects. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I've learned a lot from viewing your videos. Thanks again!!!
Thank you. Actually, I must give that credit to my High School English teacher who taught that logical organization and specificity was of paramount importance in writing and speach. God bless you, Miss Daryll Henderson, wherever you are, and thank God for giving her that gift of teaching that I learned so much from.
I wish I lived near him instead of KY, because I would be the neighbor that stops by every day with a pie in hand to bribe him for all the gun knowledge that he has. Best gun information channel by far on the internet. I learn more from his videos than I did in school, college, and the Marine Corps. SEMPER FI

Sir you are a very knowledgeable person. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My dad had me shooting when I was 5 years old, he taught me a lot about firearms and firearm safety. I am 30 years old now and he passed away when I was 15. I have been learning on my own since. I am glad I can come to your channel and continue learning. You are very calm and sensible. Don’t change a thing.
@@GunBlue490 You are most welcome. I only started shooting seriously in my late 60's and I found your channel early. I've so much to learn that it's unbelievable. You have been a quiet voice of reason for me. I now compete in a club, shooting two or three times a week, plus practice time. I have rifles and friends that are willing to let me hunt their properties, but thus far have not taken a shot. Maybe this year. Fun just to be out there. Keep doing what you do.
My first rifle was a Rem 7mm Mag. Got that when I was in High School. I'm now 60+ years old and still have this gun. It's been my primary hunting gun. Lived over 20 years in AK and Moose was what we ate. I reload and that rifle isn't babied yet it still produces. Not sure how many rounds has been fired through it in 45 years but it still does what I need it to do.
Just when I thought I had subbed every gun channel on YT, I get this in my suggested list. How have I not found this before??? I really appreciate these technical channels. Especially from people who’ve acquired years of knowledge and experience and are willing to pass it on.
Dude you gotta go through his videos and checkout what we have been watching for a few years now - Awesome information that changed the way I treat new rifles and clean them. Try "how to prepare and care for a new gun"
I have to say, you’re quickly becoming the Paul Harrel of the east. I love your videos and I am very thankful to have you sharing your knowledge with us. God bless!
So this morning I was just asking myself "Self," I says, "I wonder when my brother, GunBlue490, will put up another fine video?" And here we are! Thanks, Brother!
Finally listening to someone that knows what they are talking about! I have seen people shooting from the bench With blistering fast cartridges one shot after another and all I could do was grit my teeth. If they had only knew the damage they were doing to their rifle? They need to watch your video. Thanks for the information!
Hopefully the top brass @ TH-cam will read your comment and resume paying the hard working folks bringing all the great videos we enjoy once again .....
Thank you for the practical truth. We need more logic in firearms and less B/S. I truly enjoyed this lesson in the facts of internal ballistics and barrel life.-Best -Ella
Hi from Australia , you forgot the 5th thing that wears barrels out, poor cleaning practices especially how some people use a cleaning rod. Love the comment regarding the 300 mag as a minimum for deer I get some strange looks when I tell people I use a 308win as my all round hunting rifle. Keep up the good work .
"Love the comment regarding the 300 mag as a minimum for deer I get some strange looks when I tell people I use a 308win as my all round hunting rifle." LMAO!!! No comparison between the 300 mag and a 308. That's like someone saying to use a .223 minimum and you say, "Yeah, my 22 LR is what I like too!" Not sure why anyone would look at you funny for using a 308 though. Just your average middle of the road weapon. Fine for hunting, but nothing big or special.
@@mkeuphoria You contradict yourself. They said 300 Win Mag was minimum for deer. You say .243 is good for even mule deer. (Much larger than whitetail) Then say the 300 mag comment is spot on. lol.
I AM a amatuer gun owner,with alot of experience around guys who owned guns ,but sadly most knew nothing real about them.I am truly thankful for someone like You willing to teach me and others the Real deal,I am 57 and a quick study,thanks for your time and patience,Will be watching and spreading the word,see ya
Thanks for another great video. I was aware of the factors affecting barrel life, but was not aware of the venturi effect. Very interesting! Always enjoyable to learn something new, even if I do have a few years on you!
I always find myself coming back here over the years when some new detail peaks my interest. Really appreciate you taking the time to cover all these subjects. By the way I own a 7x57 which I absolutely love. It's a german made spanish mauser and it's become my favorite deer rifle. Where I hunt in VA I'm lucky to get a 150 yard shot so my open sights work just fine (although they are upgraded from the original military grade sights. God bless
Wow!!! This gentlemen is a true gun guy. True knowledge on a subject not like to be talked about, nor known about. Thank you sir for your time and knowledge.
Great video as always...truth and real experience. Lady Physics never lies...not sure why people want to believe there is a snake oil out there that can change it. 300 Win Mag on deer just ruins a bunch of meat. Probably need a 50 BMG for moose! Glad to hear Bennie is doing well. God Bless!
Thank you I use the 357mag hand hunting in western Massachusetts also like and use a 30-30 model 94 Winchester had good luck with both of these rounds I never liked to heat the barrel up! I am a welder and know that heat is not a good thing with alloy steel .
So maybe it's a good thing to take two guns to the range, and use each for a little while before switching. I thought I was just building some flexibility into my skill acquisition.
I saw this man in the thumbnail, played the video for about 30 seconds and subscribed. People constantly underestimate our elders knowledge and expertise. They run to the flashy TH-cam guy whose blasting off rounds in the intro but really has no fucking idea what he is talking about. My grandfather worked at Springfield Armory straightening barrels from fighter planes that roasted them in WW2 dog fights all the way to 30 caliber machine gun barrels roasted in Saipan. Machinist like that are a dying breed in my opinion. Ton of respect for a guy willing to educate and share his knowledge. THANK YOU
Excellent. I have been aware of overbore effect based on casing contour (big casing and smaller caliber in proportion) but you have explained it better than any manual I have read so far.
thank you for giving folks what to look for in the loss of performance and the fact that a bad barrel is an ambulance ride waiting to happen. this will give those who never thought of it a clue when its time to change it out. thank you for caring kind man. yes folks when you can see a dramatic change in your grouping it's time to inspect the barrel and consider a new one. you shouldn't fire it again until you've taken the proper precautions.
Dear Gun Blue very informative. Me and my friends who are shooting precision competition here in Scandinavia regularly coat our projectiles with molybdenum disulfide .With a 139 grain projectile and a load of 39 grain in a 6,5x55 case we can calculate 3 to 4000 rounds and then a new crown and after 6000 shots the barrel is dead as the chamber is burned out. Normally a we shoot 20 rounds in 30 minutes witch is the length of the tournament. I do believe that the coating is a significant barrel saver, All the best from Denmark
Your spot on. Your hunting characteristics are not everyone's shot. Your spot on for Cal for reason. I'm a long range shooter and a Elk tag holder. What you taught me in barrel life is seriously appreciated. Thank you.
Back in the 80s, I bought a "first rifle" for my son who just become old enough to deer hunt, from a ma and pa sporting goods store that had a collection of maybe 70 used rifles for sale. It was a sporterized M1903. It looked like it went through both WWs and the Korean. The parkerized finish was worn off on much of the barrel and receiver, and it sat in an almost crude, blocky, stock with a monte carlo comb and was heavy and almost black from being impregnated by years of excessive use of gun oil. For some reason I bought it. I had a feeling that it would take a lot more than playing around with the tightness of the screws to get it to acceptable accuracy. I thought there was a good chance that the barrel was "shot out". At the short ranges that we hunt deer in our neck of the deep woods, I would of found 5" MOA acceptable, at least for a starting rifle for a 12 year old for the next couple of years. At the range I ran some factory 150 gr. through it. That rifle, with it's old Weaver 2X scope, shot MOA with that first 3 shot group at 100 yds. I ended up putting a few more groups up, they start to rise a little diagonally, but the groups stayed together. Then I handed it over to my son. I never shot it again. As tempting as it was to play with it, see how it performs out to 300, I had bought it for him. That was the most accurate rifle I ever shot, I'm decent, but I'm pretty confident someone good, with some careful handloading, and a nice scope, could make it perform sub MOA. It shot better than any of my medium and large game rifles. My son still has it, that's all he uses for deer, and he's an excellent shot with it. I often tell him I'll trade him a newer, shiny, mint condition Win. or Rem for his old ugly warhorse, but he laughs.
First, Great to listen to you. Your 100% right about barrel wear. 35 years ago i loaded up my 300 wm with 150s and shoot gophers along with a 22-250 and a Dan Wesson 44 mag. Lucky to shoot a 2 inch group with the 300 now. Here in Montana we can shoot elk and deer in the same season. Also when we do shoot a elk or deer its possible we are ringing the dinner bell for a Griz. I now carry a 300wsm just because it was cheaper to buy a new rifle then to re barrel my old ruger. I would feel under gunned with anything less. I am 66 and have been reloading since i was 13 and still learn a lot from watching your channel. Thank you!
I've shot the 22-250, the .338 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag guns and fall back to enjoying shooting a .222 Remington. In a heavy barrel gun it's a dream, all rounds can go into one hole. The gun kicks very little and the report is just a boom. Even in a T/C it's so very accurate. It's a shame the .223 pulled the rug on the triple duce, it's my favorite round for fun shooting. As for pistols, I enjoy shooting .38 and .357 rounds but practice with lead bullet loads sailing at around 850 fps, just a pleasure to shoot and the barrel remains fairly cool. My trick is to bring two guns and alternate between them, especially pistols. I totally agree with you about heat and taking your time shooting. It's not a race, it's about practice and hitting the target. My family had enormous fun shooting a old Marlin 35 Rem which I loaded .357 FP jacketed bullets in at reduced charges, as a practice round. Everyone loved that gun where later sadly it was traded away. Heat is definitely the gun barrels enemy.
Been gunsmithing since 1972 , you are spot on. I have had people ask me what caliber I would use for long range hunting. I get strange looks when I say .300 H&H. They reply by telling me how great the .300 WinMag is. The 30/06 with the 220 bullet is faster than the .300 WM. Thay don't believe it , I tell them , check you manual. I agree with you completely.
Yeah the 30-06 is not faster you get close if you compare max load of the 30-06 to the .300 win minimum load them it gets closer. But on average on average the .300 win mag is 200-300 fps faster in all comparable bullets at Max or minimum loads.
Another great bit of information, your a credit to this wonderful art... So glad Benny is fine and you sir are a blessing to us all in more ways than just one !!!!
Thank you sir. I've just bought an AR about to take it to the range and thought maybe I can shoot it non stop like guys in them videos. Watching this video stopped me dead in my track from doing that. I thank you sir! You have just saved my barrel and help me to understand how to prolong my barrel life. I can tell you are a man full of legitimate knowledge.👍

As always ,great segment. I am an engineer with many years of experience behind me. I don't think anyone could explain it better. There is no free lunch. All these new super mag cartridges come with a price. Do you really want to pay for it?
I took up shooting at age 60 and by age 62, after going through all the UK shooting law's hoops, I'll be able to buy certain classes of firearm.

I have met some of the most pro-gun people here in CA. Most people do not understand CA. Literally over 80% of Cali territory is owned and populated by conservatives. Most of them pro-gun. HOWEVER the populations of the 15-20% of the state, which includes L.A., S.F. and Sacramento who tend to vote heavily Democratic, dominate our State elections. Its a real travesty. CA is not being represented properly or evenly.
Plus the amount of illegal immigrants that are registered to vote(Because they were given drivers licenses by DMV who also registers people to vote) is absolutely astronomical. We have soo many non-Americans, voting in our Elections. Its sick!
Please judge our Democratic politicians for that crap. Not CA.
@Van Guard What the hell do you expect us to do? When the Dems took over majority once, they structured the voting system to where only the popular vote counts. As of right now, California gun laws are not as near as bad as NY, NJ, CT, Hawaii, D.C. and parts of Illinois. Why do not people always crack on them instead. California also has more pro-gun people throughout the state than any other state except maybe Texas. But we dont matter to most of the country, and thats fine. Just shows that some "Patriots" are not Patriots at all. I am a Patriot. I will fight for EVERY SINGLE Red Blooded American, no exceptions. People look at California as a whole even though most of the state is actually red. So when Texas turns blue should I blame all Texans? Should we blame every single Canadian for their recently passed Gun Control?
Also, the tax we pay on everything goes to funding the states gun control programs. The Democrats have literally structured the state to where every citizen here is funding the Democrat politicians and what they want to do. There is almost nothing we can do because we arent importing voters from Mexico and all around the world and giving them Drivers licenses so they can vote.
There is really only 1 option and nobody wants that. But it is coming. Support your fellow gun owners and pro gun patriots. The infighting and bashing states as a whole is not helping anything.
I have a life here, I cannot just pull the stakes and move, as much as I hate to live here. But without us, just imagine how much worse it would be. There will be some sort of Cali conflict by the year 2024, I DO know that. We will NOT tolerate all out gun parts regulation/registration when it goes into affect in 2024.

I really appreciate your knowledge and experience in the shooting sports. I am also a Vietnam vet, have hunted elk, mule deer and pronghorn in Colorado since 1960. Matching the caliber and proper handloads with the quarry have given me much satisfaction, to be sure! This particular piece on barrel longivity reminds me of one of another of my pet peeves and that is being under-gunned esp. when it comes to elk. I see so many supposed "experts" who espouse the .243 cal. as a great cartridge for that species. If people do in fact go to the field with this intending to harvest elk they don't understand that elk deserve respect to use a caliber such as a 7mm or better that is much more capable of killing the elk rather than simply punching a small cal. hole and having the animal get away. thanks!!
Absolutely. I can't believe your comment hasent received more likes or attention. Kinda scary.
You sir are a breath of fresh air to the gun community...really enjoy your knowledge and no nonsense approach. Listen to the master folks! Keep up the great work, the gun community needs more like you.👍 God bless.
I just discovered this guy and MAN do I like his demeanor and presentation of the subject. He is very articulate and the way he presents his opinions give you confidence that his views are from solid, first-hand knowledge.
Thank you for the thoughtful video. I chose the 308win caliber in part because of longer barrel life, but also because that caliber reliably kills large hogs without destroying a lot of meat. All of your videos are very nicely done.
This guy is the best! Great knowledge. No hype. No tacticool. Straight knowledge from experience and science! A greatly needed resource in today's market!
Well said sir, you make nothing but sense. When ever I need real advise about any shooting subjects I look for your videos. Keep up the fine job you are doing.
If I want to know anything about firearms I check with your videos. Glad to hear Benny is still doing good. God Bless.
And another great video from GB490. I love his confidence without arrogance makes a perfect teacher.
New is not always better. The 30-06 was designed for sustained fire and this proven round can hang with any of the new kids on the block. That deer does not know if it has been hit with a bullet going 3200 fps or 2800 fps, but your barrel will know. This man takes technical issues and reduces them to common sense. Great video.
Thanks to my crappy job, kids,wife, house,cars etc I dont think I'll ever wear out a barrel but great knowledge to know thanks lol
Lol....awww....mine are crappier.
It's always good have something to be thankful for, even if you have to put a little extra effort into finding that silver lining...
good comment for mgtow.
Im still going to try. !
LOL same here!
This is definitely an overlooked topic. Barrel “burnout” is definitely a better term
Makes sense to me. I like watching this guys videos very knowledgeable and well spoken.
This has to be the most descriptive lesson on barrel burn out. Thx old school knowledge can't be beat!
Now this gentleman's wisdom is much appreciated
I have a 07 FFL and have been through 2 Gunsmithing schools (one online one brick and mortar) (unfortunately never got a chance to apprentice due to there being no local shops near me) and I appreciate your videos. I believe this is the third one I've stumbled across and Everytime I learn things that I'm in awe were never taught to me like the pressure effect. So I wanted to thank you for providing your knowledge and experience.
I actively am tracking down books and trying to learn more quickly because I understand how big of a disadvantage I'm at, and believe watching your videos may also help fill in some of those gaps. Thank you
I've learned more from you than anywhere else. Thank you for producing these VDOs.
You're welcome. God bless.
This guy has a wealth of knowledge
This is just like listening to my dad. My dad did everything with a 45 ACP a 30-30 a 4570 and a 30 odd 6. These Old-Timers knew all about Barrel wear. They knew what Heat could do to steel. I love listening to this man. Life has gotten way too out of control. Even when I was a young man in the army I kept by 16 on semi auto. Better accuracy and less wasted ammo. That's the way I was taught about dads Garand. God bless
Thirty aught six, not odd. Aught was an old timey way to say zero.
@@wickedcoolname399. Aught came from the military. Then old timers who were @ that time in the military. That said to a degree u are correct.
One of the two or three actually informative gun channels on You Tube.
What are the others you watch ?
@@timlaw219 Paul Harrell
@@timlaw219 Solid Hesco beat me to it. Paul Harrell for sure; great job of separating fact from fiction. Small Arms Solutions for historical background on weapons. Forgotten Weapons for background on (mostly) obsolete or out-of-production guns. Edit: Withdrawing my recommendation for Small Arms Solutions. I watched several of his videos last night and noted several errors of fact and a lot of opinion unsupported by facts.
@@timlaw219 For gun reviews, I don't always agree with Nutnfancy but he at least gets out into the real world to do his shooting and does a lot of it before he draws conclusions. He has a methodical approach to reviews that annoys some but I think is useful. He also doesn't do stupid things like mag dumps or "torture tests". Channels I ignore now are Hickok45, Military Arms Channel, and Sootch00 -- sometimes entertaining but not very informative.
Paul Harrell is another great source.
All my life (mid teens to 30’s) I have always tried to seek out advice and mentorship from older more experienced people. There is just nothing like getting schooled by an old timer. Thank you sir.
Life of barrel is same as our own life!
Drink one or two beers per day will not wear you out so much.
But drink 10 or 20 beer then your heart rifling will not last long 😂
I have an AR with an echo trigger, i'v already considered that barrel to be probably dying, but it's fun and I don't care on that particular AR (plus AR barrels are easy to change). the most i'v done was a string of 8, 30 round mags in quick succession (the echo trigger fires on pull and release. I can expend an entire mag before half of the casings will hit the ground).
Now I kinda want to try and see just how accurate it is now. I plan on abusing that rifle more and like I said before, it's not a concern to burn out that barrel, and il prob keep shooting it as I am even after the gun is technically burnt out so long as it's safe.
Absolutely!😂😂😂😂🤙🏿
One or two beers a day. Geez. That would be expensive!
@@jonathanfranck357 - When I was in the Army, the Officers Club at Ft. Hamilton (Brooklyn) was selling mixed drinks (in 1965) for 60 cents, and a bottle of beer was 25 cents. After I got out of the Army I quit drinking, it was just too much money.
@@MrSolLeks - I never could understand why anyone would want an autoloading varmint caliber rifle.
Thank you for the shared Knowledge sir ! 0311 Rifleman here and I wish the Marine corps taught us this information here ! Your information is so Valuable!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public. Your method of presentation makes it easy to understand, and your delivery has a flow that holds our attention. It drives me crazy when anyone puts a tutorial or educational video up, and can't seem to stay on topic, or constantly skips back and forth on different subjects. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and I've learned a lot from viewing your videos. Thanks again!!!
Thank you. Actually, I must give that credit to my High School English teacher who taught that logical organization and specificity was of paramount importance in writing and speach. God bless you, Miss Daryll Henderson, wherever you are, and thank God for giving her that gift of teaching that I learned so much from.
I wish I lived near him instead of KY, because I would be the neighbor that stops by every day with a pie in hand to bribe him for all the gun knowledge that he has. Best gun information channel by far on the internet. I learn more from his videos than I did in school, college, and the Marine Corps. SEMPER FI
I appreciate that. I like peach pies. 😀
@faultroy I've got a rare occurrence announcement..
GOOGLE SCREWED UP FOR FIRST TIME I CAN ACTUALLY SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY!!!

@@michaelhedgepeth5106 Thank you. It was a honor
I learn something new everytime I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, training, and experience with all of us.
Whenever I watch any of these videos I feel as I am listening to Master Po from the 70s Kung Fu TV series. We listen in reverence to an old master that is imparting wisdom that has been acquired through his lifetime. Nicely done!
I very much enjoy your episodes. And your speaking voice is delightful. Thank you sir. I’ve learned so much.
Love the matching Sacred Heart pictures over your left shoulder!! Viva Christo Re!
Que Viva!!
I saw that too, but wasn't going to comment until I saw your comment. Every member of the Catholic Church would be better off if they would leave Catholicism, study the Bible, and join a true Bible based (Protestant) church.
@@bobsradio6025 - Were just fine. Our Church was founded by Christ, not a plethora of a thousand men preaching 10,000 different doctrines. But we’re are not perfect. We’re plagued by corrupt men as well lol
You remind me of my father and grand father. not just knowledge, absolute wisdom!! Thank you for your time.
Sir you are a very knowledgeable person. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My dad had me shooting when I was 5 years old, he taught me a lot about firearms and firearm safety. I am 30 years old now and he passed away when I was 15. I have been learning on my own since. I am glad I can come to your channel and continue learning. You are very calm and sensible. Don’t change a thing.
What a joy this man is. I never fail to learn something new and unlearn something I thought I knew.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
@@GunBlue490 You are most welcome. I only started shooting seriously in my late 60's and I found your channel early. I've so much to learn that it's unbelievable. You have been a quiet voice of reason for me. I now compete in a club, shooting two or three times a week, plus practice time. I have rifles and friends that are willing to let me hunt their properties, but thus far have not taken a shot. Maybe this year. Fun just to be out there. Keep doing what you do.
Always enjoy you common sense videos and very happy to hear about Benny👍🐶😍
Common sense being Knowledge + Experience.
My first rifle was a Rem 7mm Mag. Got that when I was in High School. I'm now 60+ years old and still have this gun. It's been my primary hunting gun. Lived over 20 years in AK and Moose was what we ate. I reload and that rifle isn't babied yet it still produces. Not sure how many rounds has been fired through it in 45 years but it still does what I need it to do.
Your comment made me feel better after watching this video bc I just bought a used 7mm rem mag used 😂
Shoot a box or two a year, it'll last 60 yrs and still shoot with sufficient hunting accuracy.
Just when I thought I had subbed every gun channel on YT, I get this in my suggested list. How have I not found this before??? I really appreciate these technical channels. Especially from people who’ve acquired years of knowledge and experience and are willing to pass it on.
Dude you gotta go through his videos and checkout what we have been watching for a few years now - Awesome information that changed the way I treat new rifles and clean them. Try "how to prepare and care for a new gun"
That makes total sense not that I expected less from your videos. Basic machine wear: heat and force are inversely proportional to time.
Really enjoy these videos. Also, I’m glad to hear Benny is doing great! Take care and God bless.
Thanks!
Thanks for all your wise info Brian in Tasmania
I have to say, you’re quickly becoming the Paul Harrel of the east. I love your videos and I am very thankful to have you sharing your knowledge with us. God bless!
Both great channels
Very interesting chat, very informative.
So this morning I was just asking myself "Self," I says, "I wonder when my brother, GunBlue490, will put up another fine video?" And here we are! Thanks, Brother!
Finally listening to someone that knows what they are talking about! I have seen people shooting from the bench With blistering fast cartridges one shot after another and all I could do was grit my teeth. If they had only knew the damage they were doing to their rifle? They need to watch your video. Thanks for the information!
Great video, full of useful info, thank you p.s. Glad to hear Benny is doing well :)
I have seldom wished I could "thumbs up" more than once! But this video deserves a dozen of them! Thanks for sharing!
This kinda information is why I like TH-cam. Thank you and keep your good work going 👍🇺🇸
Hopefully the top brass @ TH-cam will read your comment and resume paying the hard working folks bringing all the great videos we enjoy once again .....
Trust and experience are two things we don’t need to worry about when it comes to you GunBlue! God Bless you and your family; and Benny too!
Thank you very much for the information as always!
Thank you for the practical truth. We need more logic in firearms and less B/S. I truly enjoyed this lesson in the facts of internal ballistics and barrel life.-Best -Ella
Hi from Australia , you forgot the 5th thing that wears barrels out, poor cleaning practices especially how some people use a cleaning rod. Love the comment regarding the 300 mag as a minimum for deer I get some strange looks when I tell people I use a 308win as my all round hunting rifle. Keep up the good work .
U probably are not even Australian ... Dude in this vid is right to many fake people on here
Your supposed to clean them?
"Love the comment regarding the 300 mag as a minimum for deer I get some strange looks when I tell people I use a 308win as my all round hunting rifle." LMAO!!! No comparison between the 300 mag and a 308. That's like someone saying to use a .223 minimum and you say, "Yeah, my 22 LR is what I like too!" Not sure why anyone would look at you funny for using a 308 though. Just your average middle of the road weapon. Fine for hunting, but nothing big or special.
Even a .243 is enough up to mule deer. His 300 win mag comment was spot on.
@@mkeuphoria You contradict yourself. They said 300 Win Mag was minimum for deer. You say .243 is good for even mule deer. (Much larger than whitetail) Then say the 300 mag comment is spot on. lol.
I AM a amatuer gun owner,with alot of experience around guys who owned guns ,but sadly most knew nothing real about them.I am truly thankful for someone like You willing to teach me and others the Real deal,I am 57 and a quick study,thanks for your time and patience,Will be watching and spreading the word,see ya
Mr.GunBlue490, you are my all time favorite gun related youtube channel! I love you, your content and Benny boy!
Thanks for another great video. I was aware of the factors affecting barrel life, but was not aware of the venturi effect. Very interesting! Always enjoyable to learn something new, even if I do have a few years on you!
I always find myself coming back here over the years when some new detail peaks my interest. Really appreciate you taking the time to cover all these subjects. By the way I own a 7x57 which I absolutely love. It's a german made spanish mauser and it's become my favorite deer rifle. Where I hunt in VA I'm lucky to get a 150 yard shot so my open sights work just fine (although they are upgraded from the original military grade sights.
God bless
I also shoot 7x57. Mannlicher Schoenauer. Love this round!
most folks don't know anything about this cartridge. God bless.
Wow!!! This gentlemen is a true gun guy. True knowledge on a subject not like to be talked about, nor known about. Thank you sir for your time and knowledge.
Thanks again mate, love your videos. All the way from Australia
Me too - add another Aussie to the list of GunBlue fans
Great video as always...truth and real experience. Lady Physics never lies...not sure why people want to believe there is a snake oil out there that can change it.
300 Win Mag on deer just ruins a bunch of meat. Probably need a 50 BMG for moose!
Glad to hear Bennie is doing well. God Bless!
You are a firearms wizard. I could listen to you all day.
Thank you I use the 357mag hand hunting in western Massachusetts also like and use a 30-30 model 94 Winchester had good luck with both of these rounds I never liked to heat the barrel up! I am a welder and know that heat is not a good thing with alloy steel .
So maybe it's a good thing to take two guns to the range, and use each for a little while before switching. I thought I was just building some flexibility into my skill acquisition.
I saw this man in the thumbnail, played the video for about 30 seconds and subscribed. People constantly underestimate our elders knowledge and expertise. They run to the flashy TH-cam guy whose blasting off rounds in the intro but really has no fucking idea what he is talking about. My grandfather worked at Springfield Armory straightening barrels from fighter planes that roasted them in WW2 dog fights all the way to 30 caliber machine gun barrels roasted in Saipan. Machinist like that are a dying breed in my opinion. Ton of respect for a guy willing to educate and share his knowledge. THANK YOU
An interesting subject. I have often wondered about barrel life.
Good to know Benny is doing great.
Sandy
Excellent. I have been aware of overbore effect based on casing contour (big casing and smaller caliber in proportion) but you have explained it better than any manual I have read so far.
God bless you and God bless Benny.
Excellent video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I appreciate your videos so much!
thank you for giving folks what to look for in the loss of performance and the fact that a bad barrel is an ambulance ride waiting to happen. this will give those who never thought of it a clue when its time to change it out. thank you for caring kind man. yes folks when you can see a dramatic change in your grouping it's time to inspect the barrel and consider a new one. you shouldn't fire it again until you've taken the proper precautions.
Dear Gun Blue very informative. Me and my friends who are shooting precision competition here in Scandinavia regularly coat our projectiles with molybdenum disulfide .With a 139 grain projectile and a load of 39 grain in a 6,5x55 case we can calculate 3 to 4000 rounds and then a new crown and after 6000 shots the barrel is dead as the chamber is burned out. Normally a we shoot 20 rounds in 30 minutes witch is the length of the tournament. I do believe that the coating is a significant barrel saver, All the best from Denmark
Your spot on. Your hunting characteristics are not everyone's shot. Your spot on for Cal for reason. I'm a long range shooter and a Elk tag holder. What you taught me in barrel life is seriously appreciated. Thank you.
Back in the 80s, I bought a "first rifle" for my son who just become old enough to deer hunt, from a ma and pa sporting goods store that had a collection of maybe 70 used rifles for sale. It was a sporterized M1903. It looked like it went through both WWs and the Korean. The parkerized finish was worn off on much of the barrel and receiver, and it sat in an almost crude, blocky, stock with a monte carlo comb and was heavy and almost black from being impregnated by years of excessive use of gun oil. For some reason I bought it. I had a feeling that it would take a lot more than playing around with the tightness of the screws to get it to acceptable accuracy. I thought there was a good chance that the barrel was "shot out". At the short ranges that we hunt deer in our neck of the deep woods, I would of found 5" MOA acceptable, at least for a starting rifle for a 12 year old for the next couple of years.
At the range I ran some factory 150 gr. through it. That rifle, with it's old Weaver 2X scope, shot MOA with that first 3 shot group at 100 yds. I ended up putting a few more groups up, they start to rise a little diagonally, but the groups stayed together. Then I handed it over to my son. I never shot it again. As tempting as it was to play with it, see how it performs out to 300, I had bought it for him. That was the most accurate rifle I ever shot, I'm decent, but I'm pretty confident someone good, with some careful handloading, and a nice scope, could make it perform sub MOA. It shot better than any of my medium and large game rifles.
My son still has it, that's all he uses for deer, and he's an excellent shot with it. I often tell him I'll trade him a newer, shiny, mint condition Win. or Rem for his old ugly warhorse, but he laughs.
That was a great story! Thank you! It brings back memories of my grandfather when I was growing up hunting with him in the mid to late 50's.
First, Great to listen to you. Your 100% right about barrel wear. 35 years ago i loaded up my 300 wm with 150s and shoot gophers along with a 22-250 and a Dan Wesson 44 mag. Lucky to shoot a 2 inch group with the 300 now. Here in Montana we can shoot elk and deer in the same season. Also when we do shoot a elk or deer its possible we are ringing the dinner bell for a Griz. I now carry a 300wsm just because it was cheaper to buy a new rifle then to re barrel my old ruger. I would feel under gunned with anything less. I am 66 and have been reloading since i was 13 and still learn a lot from watching your channel. Thank you!
I've shot the 22-250, the .338 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag guns and fall back to enjoying shooting a .222 Remington. In a heavy barrel gun it's a dream, all rounds can go into one hole. The gun kicks very little and the report is just a boom. Even in a T/C it's so very accurate. It's a shame the .223 pulled the rug on the triple duce, it's my favorite round for fun shooting. As for pistols, I enjoy shooting .38 and .357 rounds but practice with lead bullet loads sailing at around 850 fps, just a pleasure to shoot and the barrel remains fairly cool. My trick is to bring two guns and alternate between them, especially pistols. I totally agree with you about heat and taking your time shooting. It's not a race, it's about practice and hitting the target. My family had enormous fun shooting a old Marlin 35 Rem which I loaded .357 FP jacketed bullets in at reduced charges, as a practice round. Everyone loved that gun where later sadly it was traded away. Heat is definitely the gun barrels enemy.
Been gunsmithing since 1972 , you are spot on. I have had people ask me what caliber I would use for long range hunting. I get strange looks when I say .300 H&H. They reply by telling me how great the .300 WinMag is. The 30/06 with the 220 bullet is faster than the .300 WM. Thay don't believe it , I tell them , check you manual. I agree with you completely.
Yeah the 30-06 is not faster you get close if you compare max load of the 30-06 to the .300 win minimum load them it gets closer. But on average on average the .300 win mag is 200-300 fps faster in all comparable bullets at Max or minimum loads.
Bareel burns by heat of powder, not wear from bullet velocity.Bigger case in small diametar bore means shorter barrel life.
Great no nonsense explanation. Thank you sir.
Another great bit of information, your a credit to this wonderful art... So glad Benny is fine and you sir are a blessing to us all in more ways than just one !!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge... I appreciate your efforts please keep producing videos...!
I’ve never considered barrel life...Glad I watched this. Sir ,thank you for that great information.
Thank you sir. I've just bought an AR about to take it to the range and thought maybe I can shoot it non stop like guys in them videos. Watching this video stopped me dead in my track from doing that. I thank you sir! You have just saved my barrel and help me to understand how to prolong my barrel life. I can tell you are a man full of legitimate knowledge.👍
I'm glad to be of service. God bless.

As always ,great segment. I am an engineer with many years of experience behind me. I don't think anyone could explain it better.
There is no free lunch. All these new super mag cartridges come with a price. Do you really want to pay for it?
I took up shooting at age 60 and by age 62, after going through all the UK shooting law's hoops, I'll be able to buy certain classes of firearm. Thank goodness there are people like you who share a lifetimes experience with the likes of me. I'd be well lost without your kind. Thank you kind sir and all the best to you and yours... Pete
If your government is that hard to get along with maybe you should move. I'm a police officer in the USA and once pulled over a citizen who had an rpd light machine with a 75 rd drum in the back seat. I saw that and said ' wow, that's great. Where did you get it ? What a different world from the UK.
The shooting sports are great. You will enjoy them. Be safe.
Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
