Tight bore barrels?

What are the pros and cons of tight bore barrels?

Google = airsoft, couldn't find anything here either.

Thanks.

Increased FPS with less powder, and increased wear.

What would be an expected round count of a tight bore .308 with factory ammo?

I searched them once and had the same exact problem.

I hate airsoft because that is not the first time I googled a piece of gear, a gun, etc and came up with nothing but airsoft crap.

i had it explained to me that most bullets get polished (tumbled) before they leave the factory so if the bullet die is set up to make a .308dia bullet when the bullet gets polished it loses .0005-.001 in diameter. so the tight bore barrel just give you a tighter seal with the majority of bullets. Just don't go to tight krieger offers three groove sizes and when i ordered mine i ordered the .3075groove

I have an older 308 tight bore ,7 groove from when Brux was first starting out. I'd buy 5 just like it if they still made them. This barrel shoots.

Alot, probably no less than an average 308. so 7500-10k.
Depends on what you call barrel life, if you don't set the barrel back you probably arent gonna be able to touch the lands after 5k, but if everything is sqare that shouldnt matter TOO much. And yes I have my "308 barrel life" flamesuit on
