[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1727489, member: 27307"] As I've stated before, the only way to avoid wear in your barrel is to not shoot it.;) From the first shot forward, your barrel will show some form of wear based on the fact that you are launching a bullet down the bore which wears the lands and the super heated plasma from the ignited powder acting like a blow torch on the same area in front of the chamber all the time, melting the lands and grooves area a little at a time. As the hot steel cools, the fire cracking forms. The fire cracking will eventually collect copper from the bullets and carbon from the burning powder. Both are harmful to accuracy and consistency.:( [/QUOTE]
