[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 219624, member: 313"] [b]Unkilely barrel burner[/b] I've got a .221FB with a 21" Hart bbl. It originally shot 1/2 moa @ 200 yds all day long with a max load of RE7 or Lil'Gun under a 40gr BT moly coated bullet. At about 1,000 rds I noticed that the rifle was shooting about 1 moa @ 200yds under good conditions. I had the barrel set back but the accuracy didn't return. The barrel was never shot hot and was cleaned regularly. Is it possible that the barrel is "burnt" after a total of 1,300 rds? Powder charges only ranged from 17.0 - 19.3 gr maximum. Seems unlikely. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
