time 4 new barrel??

[varminthunter-243win]

i'm fairly new to this and i am getting curious. i have put a ton of rounds through my guns current barrel and i know the man who owned it before me used it alot as well and i was wondering if there was a way to tell when u need to get a new barrel? my handloads are pretty hot, about 3580, but i don't know how to tell how the rifling is holding up. any help will be appreciated!!

How's the accuracy? If it still shoots to your satisfaction, why would you rebarrel.

Doc, it's obvious he just wants to rebarrel! you definitely need a new barrel.
