I subscribe to PatientWolf's theory. I will shoot quite a few rounds at the range on occasion but usually no more than 20 or so per rifle or handgun. Then other times only a few as in checking to make sure I am sighted in for hunting etc. To fire so much that the barrel turns blue or purple is purposely ruining your gun .
