300 Norma Improved 35 degree

[schw15]

Don't be like me! I shot my 300PRC at KRG with 1100 rounds on the barrel. It was still shooting really well. I knew it was close, but decided to run it. After the 2nd stage on day 2, not so much. Might have done better with a shotgun. Borescope confirmed little chunks missing on the lands. Although the throat didn't move much, the barrel is done! I just screwed a new one on yesterday and started the process over. 25 rounds on it today. Hopefully I'll get it settled and tuned for Nightforce.

I was there hard on barrels lol I decided to throw my other barrel on went and zeroed it and shot some elr hitting perfect so worked out great. Same load as my other barrel which is super nice.

Reminds of my friends 300 Dakota a number of years back at the range..only his barrel had 500 rnds thru it at the time.always ran it hot and no cool down time . He asked to take a look at it with my bore scope and laughed my head off. the 1st inch of the lands were gone and after that about 3 more inches,nothing but heat cracks .throat was gone,looked thru the muzzle end it looked awful as well. needless to say i was able to pull off a sub half inch 5 shot group with it.at 100 yds.
