heh heh ...good one, joe.
it might be a good time to remember that barrels are not shot out from ...bullets .... they are “corroded out “ by the powder burning ....the more powder you burn ( factoring in temperature/pressure ) the faster the throat starts walking down the barrel
a lot of shooters from this area take the 10 hr. drive to p.dog heaven....1000 hot barrel shots a day are possible. very interesting to section such barrels and see that the 3 inch long “burn hole “ ...where the throat used to be ...(g)...is not always a nice concentric advance....the burnt, corroded pit sometimes corkscrews down the barrel a ways..
if its a straight 26 in barrel in the first place, it could be set back 6 inches...then it wouldn/t be shot out anymore !
a nice 26” rem varmint barrel won't allow an easy setback, it tapers too fast the first few inches. it could be saved with a bushing but that might not fly with a paying customer (g).
when i put on new varmint barrels, i advise to leave full diameter for 5 inches in front of the receiver ...to allow for 1 or 2 setbacks.fwiw, some of the top br shooters, 30 gr. high pressure loads, setback a little every 1000 shots.
as bill klinton would say...it depends on the definition of “shot out ..". ken
