    How a McGowan 6BR barrel shoots after 3500 rounds


    I got an 8 twist Mc Gowen bull barrel in 6BR for my Savage in 2014. I bought some Cerrosafe a month ago and did a chamber cast to check for throat erosion. There was a bit so I adjusted my seating depth to compensate. Following are some recent groups. The barrel has 3580 rounds through it. Both groups are five shots at 100 yards.

    No, you need to pull it off right now and send it to me (PM me for address) . I have the receiver (err tools) to put (I mean destroy) that obviously dangerously malfunctioning barrel.

    Not bad for a senior citizen. We need to cast my barrel. I'm afraid groups like this are in the past for mine. Now mine is shooting like a remington and that just won't do

    They were 3 different powders. The point of impact is a little different for each one.
