[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2258484, member: 25831"] Be careful steering the wrong direction with references to rifles that were custom built, using hand lapped barrels throated to the 173/175gr bullets is different from factory guns. Your barrels were broke in, because they test fired them to ensure accuracy, cleaned and sent them out. There is a reason why the 308 is a service round. Cheap and easy to maintain for longevity during those "lean" years... Factory barrels shooting small caliber bullets with high powder capacity down factory barrels are much different and carbon up significantly faster. OP, you need to learn your rifle and how it shoots best. I doubt you will be able to get the same quantity down the tube as accurately for as long with a 270 WSM. ONLY way to know is range time. I have found in my experience a relatively clean rifle has shot predictably. Not cold/clean bore, but fouled. This is because it is controlled by me. If I cannot positively determine at what point the barrel goes to pot because of round count, then I eliminate that issue by keeping it clean. It would suck during that once in a lifetime shot if your rifle went to pot at 387 rounds and your bull was 388. [/QUOTE]
