[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 280058, member: 1007"] I have seen this with my first 300 RUM barrel. The first 2 groups I ever fired through it were sub .25 MOA. Now, almost 1100 rounds later, it still shoots sub 1/2 MOA. About .3-.35 MOA on a good day and .5 on a very bad day. I too have looked at the barrel through a hawkeye and have seen very bad throat errosion and overall heatchecking. My opinion is that these occurences happen naturally. The accuracy can still be acceptable and even exceptional, BUT I also believe that sooner or later, and for the 300 RUM and the 6.5x284 it will be sooner rather than later :( that the accuracy (when the barrel has had enough) will just fall off the table. You and I are in the same boat. Our barrels are shooting great but are on their death beds just waiting to die! [/QUOTE]
