How do you tell if your barrel is burned out? My rifle is a 300 WSM and I have been shooting 175 SMK ahead of 65.4 grains of H4350. While I know that this cartridge burns up barrels fairly quickly, I have 731 rounds through it and it seems to be having trouble holding groups. I was able to hold 1/2 moa groups at 200 yards and now it seems hard to hold 1 moa.
I don't have a bore scope so that is out. The only thing that I have come up with is to start over on a load development and see if that helps.
Of course it could be me but like a lot of other sports it is never the indian, it's always the arrow.
Feel free to move this if it is not in the right place.
