[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1073161, member: 48043"] Hi all, I have noticed a bit of a dull look on the throat of my 300 rum for the last couple of cleanings. The last time out she fouled rather quickly and the fouling was hard to remove. I've gotten most of it out, but the throat is rather dull with a bit of a torn up look to it. To the question.... is this likely fire cracking, or am I still needing to get more fouling from the bore? Assuming it is fire cracking, is there any way to repair the rifle to get another few hundred sub moa rounds from her. The accuracy still hasn't fallen off in this rifle, but it likely will the way it was fouling in the throat. The rifling itself is in very good shape and is not even shallow at the origin. I don't hate the idea of a fresh barrel, but I sure hate the idea of retiring a good barrel early if I do not have to. To answer one question already... I have no idea the round count on the rifle, other than I've had it for around 8 years and put somewhere around 100 rounds per year through it; I also bought it used. Thanks in advance for any replies. Lefty [/QUOTE]
