22-250 is on my list, for no other reason than just because.

Dad took time to explain how the 250-3000 came to be, and how much grandpa liked it, and then about the 22-250, and so on, on several occasions. I know if I get one, I'll think of Dad every time I touch it.22-250 is on my list, for no other reason than just because.
Not that I ever heard of and there would be no point, whatsoever.
Machine guns already have a problem burning out barrels.
Why exacerbate the situation ?
With machine guns it's more about "rate of fire".
The WWII German MG42 was one of the fastest ever (1200 RPM).
Called "Hitler's Zipper" because of the sound it made.
I believe our M60 took some design cues from it, but had a slower rate of fire (600 RPM).
Actually the M60 was based on the design of the FG42not theand MG42 .
maybe try a 17-50 BMG incinerator. But please pay attention to the date of the article it is kinda old.........In the 1960s P. O. Ackley dreamt up the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer with the goal of reaching 5000fps, it was able to achieve 4600fps.

30-378 is a "shoot once in a while and brag a lot" chambering.One other screamer is the 30-378. Have a good friend that shoots it a LOT and has said playing around has gotten 150ish grain bullets into the 3900fps range. He had a really nice custom built Robar rifle that wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn after 400 rounds. Last time we hunter antelope it was on its 3rd barrel.
Ding ding ding!!! I want an AR10 in .220. Show those .223 weenies a thing or two! To think that the Swift was intro'd in 1935. You can get almost 3800 (3780) out of the Rem. .25-06 with Hornady's 75 grain V-Max.
Yep, I learned my lesson when I shot a doe's shoulder clear off with my 22-250! Never again! It was factory HP ammo, too.I load the same for a Model Seven but I am only pushing them at a tame 3850 FPS. Body parts start coming off when you hit a coyote.

So in reality 98% of shooters will never shoot enough super hot ammo to burn out a barrel.
I'm not sure - my impression was that the 'wear' was primarily flame erosion and not frictional wear as such. I really don't know for certain.Also, I would think the bullets that use a plastic sabot would not wear a barrel very fast, right?
