well after about 700 rounds my 6.5/300 throat is wore .400 from where it started out new! Guess its time for a new barrel. Anyone else shoot this round?

Realize that this was a very popular wildcat in the 60s. Most of the guys that had them, have been gone for awhile.well after about 700 rounds my 6.5/300 throat is wore .400 from where it started out new! Guess its time for a new barrel. Anyone else shoot this round?

Most rebarreled in 7mm using the same case when the Hornady 162 gr showed up, and didn't lose any velocity.
