• 0.5 is like new, .3005 caliber. Proper re-crowning will perfect the crown.

• 1.5 is good (.3015 cal.). Proper re-crowning should make it excellent.
• 2.0 is fair (.302 cal.). Proper re-crowning should make it serviceable.
• 2.5 is poor (.3025 cal.). Proper re-crowning might make it serviceable.
• 3.0 or more is a “bald tire” and is now a British .303 caliber barrel. Replace barrel
