[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2258909, member: 109862"] Yeah that level of precision probably does need to be explicitly stated when discussing barrels being done…I can’t consistently shoot in the .2s in the real world (in the hunting field and not off a bench or with a perfect rest) and can’t imagine declaring a barrel gone that still shoots in the .5s… this isn’t a point of contention, if you consistently shoot well enough to realize this kind of potential from your equipment (and when that potential is fading) I tip my metaphorical hat to you. But barrel life is about as subjective on here as the meaning of the term “overbore” haha. I have a 270 that’s never shot better than about .75” but also rarely shoots worse than 1.5” regardless of what I feed it, it’s a general purpose workhorse and I’ve probably sent well north of 1200 rounds through it. That level of accuracy or inaccuracy hasn’t changed a bit. I suppose if it had been a .2 shooter to begin with it probably wouldn’t be quite there anymore. [/QUOTE]
