Amen!

Also "PENDING" on how he fired those 250-300 rounds that barrel might have one foot in the grave!



How would a person know? And what causes that too rapid of fire?

Fotis is correct; he game you excellent advice. Have a competent gun smith examine the throat for erosion. Shooting hot and failing to clean the throat area in particular is a recipe for rapid erosion in overbore cartridges. I have witnessed overbore rifles eroded to the point of impacting accuracy in less than 250 rounds.
