[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 143896, member: 25"] Dzaw, Very interesting information. Besides the manufacturing procedues and material discussion there is also an interesting occurence of "hummer" barrels as mentioned in the Shilen site. Some barrels are simply more accurate than others - from the same manufacturer and batch. Also some clean-up much easier than others - no doubt this is related to smoothness and ?. I have been a member of both types of barrel users - used to hotrod my Weatherbys to get true Weatherby performance, now I shoot my little .308 Wins and clean them every forty shots and try to "baby" them for maximum life. Throwing away a new piece of Weatherby brass after only one firing was pretty dumb, about as dumb as worrying about barrel life when there are such incredible barrels being manufactured by Broughten, Lilja, Rock, Schneider, Krieger, Bartlein, Hart, Obermyer and a few others. I believe a sign that one has been pushing for maximum velocities will inevitably be a .210 ring burned into the bolt face around the firing pin hole. Several of my rifles have this badge of stupidity. I have some very nice digital photos of the inside of shot-out barrels if anyone would like to post a couple. A borescope can be a very scary tool - shows what is really going on inside your barrel. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed reading your info and welcome to our site. [/QUOTE]
