[QUOTE="Firearrow, post: 1038360, member: 18733"] Here is my thought process on why. I have been told that at around 1000-1200 rounds a 300 WM barrel will be "shot out". To me this means not being able to hold a .50 MOA group ETE. If for some reason my groups open up for some unknown reason I have refrences to check. For example temp to Vel differences, number of shots between barrel cleaning, amount of shots on the cases, ect ect. I usually blam me for a bad string, or a bad day out at the range. But that doesn't mean that I won't go back and check a few things, and if my barrel likes a jump .09 and now because of throat erosion my jump is now .011 or .012 if have something to look into. I know this might be way OCD for a guy who loves to hunt and is in no way shape or form a BR shooter. But if I am going to take long range shots I owe it to my self and the animals I am shooting at to know my bullet is going to hit its mark and make a quick kill shot. As long as I do my part, wink wink. [/QUOTE]
