How do they get 10,000 plus rounds through a 5.56? It has an even smaller bore.
I have a 5.56 that has 8,000 rounds through it, and it still shoots good.
The little 55 grain pill is going 3,000+ FPS
In M4's? By chrome lining the barrel, and using harder steels in their barrels. I am quite positive that you will not find a bolt action rifle by any of - Remington, CZ, Mossberg, Kimber, Proof, Savage, Sitka, Weatherby, TC, Browning, or another readily available brand - that would make it anywhere near that round count without some serious velocity or accuracy issues. If they made it there at all, precision would suffer greatly. And in an M4, precision is defined differently than the ARs we're discussing here.
