[QUOTE="ATH, post: 374858, member: 1656"] It really depends what your goal is with that barrel. If you set back, you lose length. Question #1, how long is it now, and #2, do you need to get back up to your former max velocity to be happy with it? If your load was already near the upper end, and you had say a 26" tube, when you set it back you likely will not be able to achieve the original velocity. If you're goal is max range this may be a deal killer. If losing a few fps is acceptable to get another 800-1000 rounds out of the barrel before the full expense of a new barrel (total estimate on my part, with no experience here), then go for it.
