[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1610426, member: 20643"] No problem at all. Not sure about hero but Ive definitely built a ton of them lol. Probably a couple hundred in the last few years. Throat erosion on the 28 with 195s is usually .007-.010 every 100 rounds. Its definitely something to keep an eye on. I would probably adjust every 50 rounds. Sooner if your seating depth node is narrow. That's one of the reasons Im really liking my two 300 norma improved rifles. My heavy rifle is for load testing/plinking. My barrel had roughly .012 erosion in 400 rounds. Im guessing the barrel will last 1000-1200 pretty easily. Throat area still looks great. Im sending a 215 berger at 3200 fps which is a cupcake load w VV N570. I had it at 3315 fps in a 26" barrel w no pressure signs.
