[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2632568, member: 121677"] Worn out is a huge span, I have a '38 turk mauser that the bore is beyond awful and the throat is GONE, from rust or shooting or both I don't know but I suspect it's both. It still shoots minute of opposing army soldier easily at 100 yards and if you could get 2-3 of them fairly close together I think you could probably call it 250-300 yards? Benchrest guys will pull barrels that are still shooting 1/4 min or less. Everyone else is somewhere between. My guess for most here on LRH is somewhere around 3/4 to 1 minute is a toasted barrel. A 308 will shoot great with .150" of throat erosion where a 28 Nosler or a 300RUM won't. I don't think there is a number, hit this number and it's done. I think there probably is a number for this cartridge shooting that bullet, plus or minus maybe 30 thousandths. But change bullet or cartridge and I think that number changes. [/QUOTE]
