[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1578245, member: 2736"] Most of the time. When someone brings a rifle to be re barreled it is quite easy to see the abuse with a bore scope and a head space gauge especially when you hear the round count. I often find bolt lug set back, fire cracking and other signs of over pressure loads and erosion from primer failure. I was once afflicted with the hot load sickness and it brought me nothing but problems and short barrel life. After seeing the errors of my ways I have not destroyed a barrel sense. Just my experience with barrel life. There can be much more usage in a good barrel if all of the known reasons for poor life are avoided. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
