[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 707071"] I have read that you can get 900 rounds out of the barrel before you have to cut it back and rechamber it, if you don't get it too hot during your courses of fire. Bowhunter42, I wouldn't waste any money for cryogenic treatment because Dan Lilja from Lilja barrels did some testing and it doesn't do anything. Check out melonite ( salt bath nitriding ). There was some talk on Accurate shooter lately about it. Some guy has 11,000 rds thru his 223 and it is still as accurate as day one. It makes the outside of the metal real hard 60 to 70 rockwell. It doesn't change any dimension ( bore ). I have a Krieger that as soon as I get to chamber it, I am going to get it melonited, it's in 308 to shoot F TR class. The only bad thing is that you can't rechamber it when the throat is gone because it ends up being too hard, needs to be machined with carbide. Just my 2 cents. Tarey [/QUOTE]
