[QUOTE="sven556, post: 1614805, member: 109792"] How do know when a barrel is shot out? I have a Remington 700 30-06 adl from the 1970’s. I’ve owned it for about 10yrs now. After I bought it, I bedded the action and free floated the barrel. It will shoot 1.25-1.5 moa groups out to 200 Meters with hunting loads and only trying a couple different loads. Good enough for hunting. Recently I’ve been wanting to shoot longer range. So, I loaded some 168 got A-maxes. Seating them 0.01” from the lands; I find them loaded really long. The case neck is only gripping about 0.15” of the bullet. Is this due to throat erosion or do Remington barrels have long throats? I haven’t shot these rounds to see how they do yet, but I have been wondering if I should plan on changing the barrel soon. [/QUOTE]
