[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1037880, member: 10291"] When your barrel looses accuracy due to the volume of shooting it will occur because of throat wear, the first few fractions of an inch where the bullet first contacts th rifling. Comparing the riflling appearance in your bore to another rifles is not a good indication that you are wearing your barrel out. While a loss in your typical accuracy is the best way to check barrel wear effects, the throat erosion can best be checked either by using a barrel scope or measuring changes in bullet seating depth. With your description of the number of rounds you fire per season, it's hard to imagine your barrel is anywhere near the end of it's life, which should be 1000-1500 rounds. [/QUOTE]
