[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1093797, member: 2736"] If it still shoots good don't change anything, Not even the loaded length. It is common to set the barrel back one thread and re head space the chamber. One will generally clean up the lands and save a good shooting barrel. I have a target 308 win that has over 23,000 rounds through it and with iron sights, it will shoot 1/2 MOA groups. The lands have moved forward but the ammo is loaded to the same COAL and still shoots great. I have bore scoped the barrel many times and as long as accuracy holds I will leave everything alone.
