[QUOTE="WoodswalkerPNW, post: 1692144, member: 64296"] I regularly see folks in my shop who want a DIFFERENT BARREL after putting only XX rounds through it. Unless they are hell bent on changing it or have CLEARLY selected a bullet Wt/Twist combo that will just never work, (.224/75gr in 1:12 - Guy had a factory Remmy and was dead set on shooting 75 grainers after someone ELSE opened up the chamber to .222 MAG.) then I counsel patience and we discuss the hows and whys and see if we can get it to shoot BEFORE i start swapping barrels. Sometimes its an obvious thing. I have generally had good luck with most 2nd hand barrels, I am careful about head-spacing, trued receiver faces and torque. I have built several rifles off of customer takeoffs and shoot 1MOA or better from a rest with selected factory ammo and I know that hand-loading and tuning will better that. [/QUOTE]
