[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1400812, member: 4191"] Received the Lyman Borecam and have examined 5 rifle barrels so far. All looked pretty good, except for one .308 cal melonited Krieger. Saw more than I cared to in that one. A lot of heat checking, even though there's not that many bullets through that bore. Another melonited 338 bore looked great. I've been reading of too many disappointed owners of nitrided barrels, and I'm afraid I'm one more. It looks like minor heat checking, but way more and way further down the bore than other barrels with 3 times as many shots fired. But back to the Lyman Borecam... I like it and can see plenty good enough with it. My bores looked good as far as carbon & copper fouling. But I'm now shopping for a replacement 9-twist .308 barrel. Gotta have been the nitride treatment. I haven't shot that rifle 250 times. Something went wrong with there. [/QUOTE]
