[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 2057690, member: 41122"] Never a bad idea to inspect the throat when you have bullet/jacket issue. Its not unusual for a worn throat to be the straw that breaks the camels back so to say. A lot of shooters discover this problem when a worn throat fails to engage the jacket early on, and the bullets added forward travel results in shallow fire-cracked rifling smearing the jacket. Obviously thicker jackets tolerate this better than thinner ones. Again, ive only seen this happen at short range, your issue may be different. However, if youre gonna work up new loads to fix it, id give the barrel a good cleaning and scope it. [/QUOTE]
