Barrel Life Spread Sheet

[Sooner04]

I was looking in a certain forum that I didn't write down the name of that was talking about barrel life. Someone posted a spreadsheet that you could input velocity, powder type, bullet information along with one other factor that I don't recall. It would then use this information and spit out a rough estimate of how many shots the barrel would be good for.

Does anyone know where this is located on one of the 20 pages of the Forum?

Thanks!

Using the Shooters' Forum Search Function, I found the thread you wanted:

You can download the spreadsheet and input your own heat of explosion, charge weight, and estimated pressure

Well by useing the spread sheet, accuracy will drop off in my 30BR after 1600 rounds I hope this isn`t correct

The 30br is alittle extreme for that math. A bug. Thanks for pointing it out Aussie Bob.

That spreadsheet incorporated shot interval, but this function was defaulted out until some validation. Or atleast, partially. The 30br has no minimum cooling or shot inerval, and this caused zero errors which hosed the calcs.
I could remove shot timing completely for now but I don't know how to post a new spreadsheet.

Got it
I'm very sorry for the error. Will try to go back and replace posted files with this simpler one.
MODERATOR, would you help me clean this up?
