[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1664678, member: 9308"] Another thought - and it's a bit of a "Hail Mary" - is to Fire Lap the barrel. You already reload so getting the FinalFinish bullets from David Tubb's website and loading them up would be no big deal for you. Looks like $35: [URL]http://www.davidtubb.com/final-finish-bullet-kits/finalfinish-bulletkit-257[/URL] The barrel has to be cleaned completely down to bare metal first. This won't just be a copper solvent on a patch-type clean. This is a J-B Bore Compound-type clean. Once you have that done, you follow the directions that come in the kit you get from Tubb. What's really interesting is 'feeling' the barrel smooth up as you clean after every five rounds. If your throat it rough and cracked, the fire-lapping can smooth it up and buy you some more 'effective' barrel life. And if you are just sighting in and using it for hunting after that, it could be good-enough for your lifetime of owning the gun. Just tossing it out there as another option YOU can try, for not much money. [/QUOTE]
