[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1661269, member: 90080"] It didn't help on this barrel, but my 7 STW is looking good @ 800+ rds. I won't have anymore nitrided because the barrel has to be broke-in and free of burrs prior to treating. Also all chambering and threading must be completed prior to nitriding. Adds time and price to build. My opinion is if you don't ever shoot them hot, a good barrel will have roughly same life span, treated or not. 4 barrels total, 2 each for Sherman and 7 STW. Fixing to change barrels on the 6.5, it still shoots pretty good, but groups open at 20-25 rounds and cleaning it is a real PITA. Both rifles are SwitchLugs, so quick and easy to change barrels.
