[QUOTE="Justice1327, post: 2179406, member: 117337"] I have had several makes of CF barrels since 2000. In low volume hunting /target rifles in 308’/7-08...you can expect 4-6K rds of factory ammo w/o any real issue. However, my most recent Proof barrel on a custom action wont shoot better than 1.5” and it is a hunting setup. Gunsmith set it back and used a new JGS reamer 2x. Proof said it is to be expected with factory hunting ammo and because I chose an 1:8.4 twist and they suspect it is overstabilizing them. 120-150gr bullets tested w/ no signs of OS on target at 300 yds. Be interesting to see what they say after they look at it this week [/QUOTE]
