[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 300194, member: 1007"] Head space doesnt errode. The throat errodes the most and the fastest. You can set the barrel back a turn after it is cooked out IF the rest of the barrel is good. Sometimes several inches of riflings are degraded also. Most will agree that a barrel is "shot out" when it will no longer hold a resonable degree of accuracy. A resonable degree of accuracy will meen different things to different shooters. When a barrel starts shooting poorly, often times setting it back an inch or two will help, however if it took 800 rounds to loose accuracy you will likely NOT get another 800 accurate shots. It will likely be MUCH less. IMHO, when it is shot out, it is better to get a new barrel. [/QUOTE]
