[QUOTE="oldfortyfiveauto, post: 1672449, member: 30352"] Heat no doubt is a big factor. I've neve let them get hot enough to burn skin, but warm yes. I always shoot some reference groups before and after our pdog trip and run the borescope in for a look. My Remington will probably be done with the next trip at about 2800 rounds. The heat checking has started up. Last season was the end of my buddy's CZ in 17 hornet. Groups opened up to 4" at 200yds. Pretty hard to overheat a 17 hornet. He bought it used so we don't the actual round count on it. On my rifles I know pretty much exactly as I am real good at documentation. [/QUOTE]
