  8. i totally agree with that and i am led to belive extremly fast rounds do wear the barrel out faster what i ment by flat in my previous topics is the distance i could point and shoot off zero eg 250yds ect even through relisticaly the bullet isnt traveling flat just ignore this if it dosent make sense because i struggle with computers they arent my strong point
