[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1646812, member: 14175"] I'd try a few different batches of ammo. The only way to know if it's badly worn is looking through a bore scope, and even then it might take an experienced gunsmith to know for sure. It takes a LOT of rounds to wear one out, and even when one is worn often times you can find a load that will still shoot well. There's also the possibility that the barrel wasn't stress relieved properly at the factory and is bending more than normal from the heat. There are other areas that can also be affected by the expanding/heating metal like the receiver. Tough to say for certain. [/QUOTE]
