more than 2500 rounds through the original barrel. Accuracy had dropped from the 0.5MOA back to about a MOA with the more and more occasional flier. Yep, a compromise i was happy to make. Given i pretty much only compete in field matches the drop in accuracy was barely noticed.

i have only put 8oo through mine and have lost 0.047" of the lands so not real impressed with MADDCO barrels ATM but it is accurate but for how much longer ?

See I never bothered to measure mine. The projectiles were always loaded to suit the magazine length - once I determined that seated to that depth they didn't contact the lands. I expect they had quite a jump towards the end of the barrel life.
