What does "very minor firecracking starting" mean?

If you borescope a magnum rifle barrel after 200-400 rounds you will see minor "cracks" that start in the throat and work their way up the barrel over the life of the barrel.

They come from the heat. They look like an alligator skin.

No problem as most barrels have them. When someone is losing accuracy in their barrel what is really happening is that these areas are starting to flake off and leave pits and holes that catch on the bullets and copper up.

My last HG barrel had 2300 rounds down it, no throat practically and was still shooting good enough to take 9th at the Nationals.

Bottom line is it is not a brand new barrel, but condition shows at least 50% of life left which is probably 800 rds or more and still have sub MOA groups IF you do your part.
