When you say throat preservation, you speaking of the looks of it or have you measured throat erosion? I guess I've never read where a Weatherby case had great barrel life in general. Most chamberings go south after so much erosion and pressures cannot be maintained, and IMO Weatherby starts in negative in that aspect.
I have pulled barrels that have LOOKED great through a borescope, but seemingly were done. Right now I am shooting a Dasher that the first 4" of the barrel has looked like shit since the first 500 rds down it, still hammering at 1100 rds.
I chalk a lot of this up to barrel steel.

what brand?

what brand?

I'd just as soon not throw it out here, I have been shooting the brand exclusively for over 2 yrs, plus it still shoots like no other. One barrel out of 10 or so is no reason to make any hair brained conclusions. This one is firecracked like I have never seen, looks a closed mountain trail through my Hawkeye.
If you pm me, i'd probably come clean.

I think the same thing it’s just an anomaly.
I’ve had a couple of barrel go way past their life expectancies then I’ve had several go way before.
