[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 268926, member: 8843"] It sounds like its getting near the end of its life , you may be able to get a little bit more out of by "Fire Lapping" the barrel , this will smooth out the rough throat area a little bit and might give you some more time. You could also set the barrel back a little bit and rechamber , this will clean up alot of the throat area but again its just buying a little bit of time. Or you could just stick with cleaning it alot more often , I know a guy that bought a "shot out" bench rest barrel , it will foul out in about 20 shots and start throwing a pattern but its on a deer rifle that only gets shot 20-30 times a year anyway. sound like a **** fine cantidate for a new custom barrel.
