[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 126987, member: 8843"] I have cut most of these barels and you can tell which are the hardest and of the ones you mention the Lothar Walther was the most singnifiant one of the bunch , they use a differant Steel alloy than any of the others. I cut a couple Black Star barrels and they were very hard I was told buy the sales rep that they weren't like cutting regular 416SS , the SS that they use is 17-4. I luckly had some of this to practice on , I've cut a couple Pac-Nor's barrels and had no problems but some guys swear that they are supper soft and cut like lead.But from the accual barrel life testing I've seen the Shilen barrels wear out the fastest , I'm guessing that its because of the 8 land and groove desgine.
