[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2671939, member: 8394"] Usually there is some kind of sign that the barrel is burned up. In my Batchelor days I burned up a 300 wsm barrel, the subtle signs were the 27 bottles of empty 4350 tossed in the corner. The thousands of dollars of missing money spent on bullets, just shy of three bricks of large rifle magnum primers gone. The less subtle signs were the miles on my car to and from the ranch, the increasingly large pile of cull brass and the hrs and hrs running a ohaus 1010. Oh and the fact that I'd gone through more than one tube of copper solvent. Then the degradation in accuracy that happened very slowly then all at once. Even at prices at the time it was almost 2x the cost of the rifle... If it's a flawed barrel or burnt out makes no difference the tomato stake is the right answer, if it's copper fouling.... that's an easy fix. * orkan hit the nail on the head. For all its squak about barrel life, in normal use its a 10 year deal. [/QUOTE]
