[QUOTE="mudygmc, post: 1663750, member: 57931"] Is it really a hotrod if you take it slow and dont push it. Just messing with ya. I push mine to the fastest accuracy node. I understand the fire cracking. I dont have good internet. I only have my cell phone and lots of reading and searching is tough. Thats kind of why a book or video would be easier for me. I always hear shoot a barrel until the accuracy isnt there. Kind of wondering how far barrels will go. Where is the point or condition they are beyond load adjustment for accuracy. When is it time to throw in the towel and rebarrel. Do bigger bore fire crack and such worse than smaller bores? Just looking for some info on the subject. I use my guns no doubt. I try and respect them but if its 90 out and I have prairie dogs running all over I'm not going to wait the 10min for the barrel to cool. A shot or 2 a minute is going to happen. Like I said my guns are my toys or I guess youd say hobby. They are going to cost money no doubt. I am fine if a barrel only lasts a year or two. Odds are I had a blast tearing it apart. I'm religious on cleaning too. I hear storues about over cleaning a barrel. Kind of wanted to see progress as i clean and how much i really need to do and where. My main reason for getting a bore scope was for my cousins rifle. He has a win mod 70 7rm he got from his dad who passed away. For the life of us we can get it to shoot a 1moa group. I wanted to look at the bore and see where we stood. We have tried most Other measures with the rifle. Stock was rubbing the barrel on the left side. We opened up the channel and bedded the action.
