[QUOTE="Its204fast, post: 2261081, member: 114347"] The ONE barrel I have ever seen that was "Shot out" went from .400, 5 shot groups @200yds to .700 groups to about a 3in group when the barrel got a little heat in it. I watched as the owner asked another guy to make sure it wasn't him, the guy said...Its your barrel, how many rounds do you have through it? the owner said he figured somewhere around 2500-3000 and had another 1000 loaded ready to shoot (Necksized.) He had a gunsmith look down it with a camera showed him the erosion in the throat. he had the gunsmith ream the throat and put it back together,( he had to pull all the loaded ammo and FL size to chamber it) but it never gave him the .400 group @200yds he was used to so he had a Bartlien barrel put on and it shoots better than before. I think it was a Winchester Stealth .308 I chased the crosshairs on a friends 7mm for about 10 shots before I realized the scope bases were broken. [/QUOTE]
