[QUOTE="Jokostel, post: 1190985, member: 39379"] 800-1200 Rounds is not out of the question. However, at 500 rounds, I'm sure you have some evident throat erosion. I would go thru the weapon with a fine tooth comb if you haven't already... and scrub the bore out with something like 7.62 sweets that removes copper AND general powder fouling... I also LOVE Kroil and CLP. Kroil is a type of cleaner and oil that's very light and digs into the molecular level of the steel. I always SOAK the barrel in that when done cleaning.... and when I bring a new rifle home. CLP is also a great "finishing" lube and cleaner. If a good cleaning doesn't help, at that round count, your load may have fallen out of favor, and you'll probably have to seat the bullet out another 5-10 thou. Worst comes to worst, take it to a gunsmith with a bore light and have them inspect it. [/QUOTE]
