I have done many liners for 22LR using a .003 clearance and " red Locktite" and was never concerned about how long would they last. My last liner project consisted of drilling then reaming with a new piloted reamer of known dimension. I then turned the liner from a barrel blank on the lathe hand working a few spots with a file to gain a consistent dimension the whole length and again using "red Locktite". The difference this time is it was a center fire round (40-70 straight) on a Hepburn build. The liner and bore were both coated with the Locktite and worked back and forth at install to insure a good coating on both. I know Locktite is a anarobic material and will set up without oxygen. I guess my question is how long should it be expected last being a center fire application? Thoughts anyone?

Then I will rest easy as I will never put that many rounds through this one. I was just curious to hear of others experiences with center fire rounds.
