[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 476525, member: 11717"] Yes, I understand this and thanks. I will shoot low level break-in rounds through it to remove any rough spots, then have it treated. Once treated, I will work up my loads. From my reading on the subject, the more used the barrel is, the more risk of accuracy loss. I plan to only do this in new and broke-in barrels. The barrel maker (Broughton) was actually the first one I broachd the subject with. He had no problems with it and his customers have had about 50 of them done so far. To the best of my knowledge, on the research I've done so far, most, if not all actions and barrels made these days will not be affected by this heat treatment other than metal stress relief which might cause some "movement". Custom barrels are stress relieved my the makers and should not be greatly affected. [/QUOTE]
