A mate of mine has found he's got a very slight bulge in the barrel of his 30-06.
He's not exactly sure what it happened as he's been shooting it regularly with no problem, and he only noticed it during its latest cleaning.
Could have had it for a while though as it's only subtle and he never noticed it being at the muzzle end.
Anyway, can something be done to salvage the barrel?
It seems to shoot well enough, but has shaken his confidence a little. Doesn't want anything to go more wrong while he's on the other end of it.
Does anyone reshape and check the strength of barrels or anything like that? Or is it time for a new barrel?
