[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1383420, member: 30902"] Fire cracking looks like reptile skin. When you see it your throat is either gone or about to be. Big chunks start flying off and the lands begin rapidly eroding away. I've seen .204 Rugers and .220 Swifts go from being nail drivers to 3+ MOA guns over the course of just a few days of prairie dog shooting. Never get one hot and keep shooting and you can extend barrel life a very long time as the hotter the chamber/throat area gets the more erosion and firecracking accelerates. [/QUOTE]
