[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 184035, member: 313"] I'm not surprised at all. In the off season, I usually recheck all of my rifle throats the same way you did. Many of my rifles have seen .010" of erosion and sometimes more. Think of what 1,000 rounds of any magnum cartridge will do to a throat. Many barrels are "toast" by that time unless treated gingerly. You know - shooting only short strings to allow barrel cooling and careful cleaning using the usual benchrest methods. [/QUOTE]
