What is normal wear on a throat? 6mm br, 105 amax bullet since new. Varget powder, slower then most between 27.9 and 29 grains. Never ran hot! When barrel was new, round measured 1.783 bto. Measured now with same bullet and 601 rounds later it measures 1.866 bto. That is .083 of throat erosion. Of course I understand my measuring skill could be lacking some but not .083! I'm using the Wheeler stripped bolt method. It is a Savage prefit barrel. It shoots well one day and goes to heck the next. What say you?
Thanks Bill
