I have been shooting a custom 10/22 for about 9 mo. During this time we have shot about 9000 rounds of which 8000 +/- were Lapua Midas+. After the gun, set-up and shooter got fairly dialed in, the gun could consistently average a 243 indoors on the USBR target. This seemed pretty decent for an automatic based on the info I could gather. Recently, the USBR scores were falling off to maybe the high 230's. I sent the barreled action back to be checked out. The comments I got back was that the 1st third of the barrel looked like a gravel road. They scrubbed the Lothar Walter barrel but it was worn and not fouling.
Their primary question was "what kind of ammo have you been shooting"? As the gun was shipped clean, the only residue left was around the extractor slot. Their comment the grit was was extremely sandy. They are not new to the game.
My question: Is Lapua above average in abrasiveness or is 9,000 rounds a fair life for a barrel? Both?
