[QUOTE="AKSavage, post: 1250008, member: 95938"] Thanks for the replies guys. Accuracy is still decent, right at or below MOA, but it does seem like I had more consistency early on. By consistency I mean fewer flyers within groups, but also that it seemed like earlier the barrel was less picky and would shoot good groups with a wider variety of powder and bullet combinations. Since I just found out that my throat had eroded, my first test will be to see if "chasing the lands" improves accuracy. My best groups early on (1/2 MOA) were with bullets lightly jammed, and I haven't been able to get that level of accuracy for a while now. Maybe this explains why. I don't have access to a bore scope, and I haven't ever shot out a barrel before, and there was no sudden decline in accuracy. I was just wondering if .015" of throat erosion was a lot or a little, thinking that if it's a lot then I might want to start the process of ordering a new barrel. [/QUOTE]
