Never. I was scoping new barrel to compare to previous barrel (reportedly both Hawk Hill) to learn how much the old one was worn out comparing to a new one. 6 Dasher is the caliber. Interestingly, new barrel has burrs, old one does not.You ever shoot moly in that barrel?

Working load for it. I would say inconsistently so far.You say nothing about how the rifle shoots just about the appearance of the bore.
How does the rifle shoot? If it shoots to your standards, then why would you care how it looks?
I am skeptical about that.Break in fixes the burs
Maybe 0.5 MOA at 100. Still working on the load.You say nothing about how the rifle shoots just about the appearance of the bore.

Thats the point. Its not to get you in the habit of cleaning, its to smooth the burs that strip the jacket material. Thats why people clean until it quits coppering.I am skeptical about that.
I was under the impression that hand lapping of premier barrels supposed to do that?Thats the point. Its not to get you in the habit of cleaning, its to smooth the burs that strip the jacket material. Thats why people clean until it quits coppering.
That cant fix the throat area the reamer didI was under the impression that hand lapping of premier barrels supposed to do that?

lol its a pyrethroidCyanides are bad for your teeth. I went Medieval on one barrel with HCl and still no pitting, just clean steel.
I'd like to know your caliber/cartridge & the powder you use in it. Thanks, mikeinctAnd the best break-in is scrubbing the throat with Iosso or JB. Ideally, do that before firing any rounds. Otherwise, one or two cleanings with JB or Iosso a couple times in the first 100 rounds seems to work well.
After that, I recommend JB or Iosso every 200 rounds or so but only if needed. That said, the one barrel I did use Iosso every 100 rounds was still shooting 5" 10-shot groups at 1000 yds at 1000 rounds. The throat had eroded a little more than I thought it should, but the throat was nice and smooth with very little fire cracking.
If I had a rifle that consistently group in the 1/2 moa range at 100 yards, I wouldn't do anything aggressive to the bore, only normal routine cleaning.Maybe 0.5 MOA at 100. Still working on the load.
Looks like corrosion to me. I did metallurgical failure analysis for 45 years. I wonder what the alloy is. You have no choice keep shooting it. What do you clean the bore with?I think my barrels has worms. How do you get rid of them? Are they dangerous?
Yes - Yes. If it shoots to one's standards, why is there all this nonsense about how the bore looks?Have a shootin' buddy that sold me a gun, Savage with factory barrel. Said don't look down the barrel with a scope which I don't do anyway. Said it's rough as a cob and it leaves faint lines on the brass but ejects fine. It's a shooter, trust me he said. Yes it shoots crazy good, well at least out to a mile which is far as I've shot it.
Oh, by the way it set the ELR World Record in 2019, we have no idea why it shoots so good but it makes you wonder why some that are perfect won't shoot and ones that would be scrapped if inspected shoot lights out.
I never look down a bore, if it shoots I shoot it, it'll tell me when it wants retired by the scores it posts.
