Well I shoot every day, I don’t seem to get much better, but I live on a cow ranch so the clay machines are almost at my back door. Normally I shoot75 to 100 daily. The wall thickness I got back from Turnbull says .027 last 12 inches of barrels.

The critical section is the first 12 inches beginning at the juncture of the forcing cone with the bore and forward from there.
