    It’s a Kreiger 4 grove. Shot very well.
    I originally shot 150sierra mk. Had a little trouble with that Bullet. Then tried the 147 and was very accurate. They started blowing up very early on. Maybe after 200 rounds total down the barrel. Then used some 156 Berger EOL, they were very accurate and worked good for a few hundred rounds then they started blowing up. I ran Some 130 AR Hybrids never had a problem with those but could not get ballistics to line up properly. Ok to 1000 then wouldn’t group well. I ran the 156 and 147 out to 2km. Both were as good as my 338. Now using some of the solids while waiting for a reamer.
    The proof is a 4 groove. If you treat it nice it might last. The thicker jacket bullets are the way to go. Those 153 a tip will start stripping at some stage. I know some that have in 5 groove 1/7.5. These match bullets are just no good once the throat gets a little rough. I’m finding atleast 1 in 3 fly apart. Never the first shot, so should be ok in hunting rifles.
    Varies, some make 30m some a few hundred.

    Thanks for that.
    Hopefully I've got a while yet before I have to worry about it but how do you think something like a LRAcubond or interbond would hold up when the throats roughed up?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
