[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 979934, member: 5219"] A friend shoots 1000 BR with a 300 win mag improved. He would make the comment that he would chase the throat with every match. They shoot a few rounds as sighters then shoot 10 for record with those big guns. So perhaps as many as 15 rounds were sent downrange in just a few minutes. At least your rifle is showing this wear at a slower rate. Of course if you don't shoot it much it can last for years. I wouldn't be too concerned yet. I have a bore scope and have inspected my 257 weatherby and a 6mm-284 that both have around 1000 rounds through them and are horribly eroded with a great deal of heat cracking WAY up the barrel. They are much harder to clean BUT they still shoot quite well. I have new barrels waiting to replace them and keep wondering when that will happen. [/QUOTE]
