[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 247445, member: 307"] I found them while cleaning the barrel. It's easy to discern from the heat cracked area (rough) and good barrel (smooth). As you're pushing the cleaning rod through, you can feel resistance and hear it (kinda' "static-ie") as the patch moves through the rough area. You'll know immediately when you leave this area as the patch glides smooth. I first heard/read about heat cracks on a Benchrest forum. Never thought much about it and had never experienced it until that particular Sendero developed them. I guess it's really nothing but heat damage inside your barrel from the hot gases. I would think with as many hot rods cartridges as there are out there, that someone else would have first hand knowledge of this and be willing to expound on it. I'm not the only one that shoots this much!! JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
