Most of the time.
When someone brings a rifle to be re barreled it is quite easy to see the abuse with a bore scope and a head space gauge especially when you hear the round count.
I often find bolt lug set back, fire cracking and other signs of over pressure loads and erosion from primer failure. I was once afflicted
with the hot load sickness and it brought me nothing but problems and short barrel life. After seeing the errors of my ways I have not destroyed a barrel sense.
Just my experience with barrel life. There can be much more usage in a good barrel if all of the known reasons for poor life are avoided.

Aye Sir! I happen to agree with you. As always, thanks for sharing your insight. Nothing beats real world experience.
In addition to your use and abuse statement, along the same lines, I read an article of improper barrel/chamber cleaning but I cannot seem to find the article. But in either case, it still points out to the "NUT" behind the trigger.
