Parks Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have been running an M&P Pro in 40 Minor for Production. Was wondering if I can expect to get a longer barrel life running minor ammo at about 133 - 135 power factor. Loads are 180gr platted @ about 750fps. Have about 17,000 rounds through it. Still seems accurate. Actually have not replaced a thing on, including recoil spring. I do take good care of it - clean and oil/grease about every 1,000 rounds. Was also wondering if it is true that a barrel will loose velocity as it wears out reducing the power factor? Appreciate any insight.

entropic Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I bet the lands are still sharp. In my experience with an M&P, there are parts that will wear out, but the barrel isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
