[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 767243, member: 12863"] There is a big difference between a factory Non-lapped barrel before and after nitride regarding copper. Savage barrels nearly all shoot quite well. They also foul. Once nitrided there isn't fouling. Another example: For the past two years I have been working with Benchmark 3 groove 224 barrels at 4800-5200 fps and until I Nitrided all but lathe turned bullets were coming apart. Nitrided stopped most bullets from coming apart. When I went to a 16 twist barrel plus Nitride I have been able to shoot all bullets and No bullets are coming apart. I have yet to wear out any Nitrided barrels and I figure the 6.5WSM and the 300RUM are well past 1000 rounds and accuracy is intact. Throat shows some wear but I haven't changed bullet seating at all. I see no need to change the seating depth for a really long time. Neal [/QUOTE]
