Fired My Lrp For The First Time But Have Concerns

[masterblaster]

normal growth in my Savage barrels is .002 so I don't think you are too far out, you might polish the chamber if the scratch marks are bothering you.

The scratches don't really bother me but the gouging is definitely bothering me. The chips on the edge of the chamber appear to be getting worse as I fired it. At least that is what I am guessing by what appears to be a progression from scratches to gouges.

I had no idea that .002" growth is the norm on a savage, thanks for the info.
