[QUOTE="long ranger, post: 190302, member: 800"] Kirby If you are finished laughing and throwing a bit of your reality around, could you point out to me WHERE the erosion and fire cracking is in my barrel. I appreciate that the photos through my borescope are not the greatest, but I am only a rifle manufacturer not a photographer, none the less I can not see any sign or erosion or cracking here. CAN YOU?? This 338LAI barrel has a round count of 1147 rnds. It is my own personal rifle. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/albertatacticalrifle/boreandcrown004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/albertatacticalrifle/boreandcrown005.jpg[/IMG] This is extreme firecracking I found in a 6x300RUM with just over 100 rnds, just so you are cognizant that I can identify firecracking My partner who is far better with a camera took this 1 and photo-shopped it to make it readily visible. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/albertatacticalrifle/IMG_0554.jpg[/IMG] I agree that firecracking and throat erosion is inevitable, but there are steps 1 can take to help prolong this inevitability, ie using high grade barrels, Cryo treating them and the religious use of Gun Juice I have found makes a significant delay in the erosion and cracking. I was never suggesting that the 338s are immune to firecracking, just posting my experience with this particular caliber with the barrels, powders, etc I have used with great results. Opinions are ofcourse like anus's, everyone has 1. The opinions and experiences of others may not agree with your experience, but that does not necessarily make them laughable or unrealistic Not intending to flame you, BUT maybe you could have asked some questions regarding my post, via PM before shooting your off on your keyboard rather than calling me out on the forum as you chose to. I have been building custom precision rifles for only 35 years now as a full time occupation, so obviously am fairly new at it. Nowhere have I found any wriiten in stone rules that proclaim firecrackin or throat erosion will always occur at X number of rounds. [/QUOTE]
