[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 479987, member: 12863"] I am currently fulfilling a promise and trying to wear that 6.5WSM barrel out. I am at 250 rounds down the pipe and I still have not cleaned the barrel-still shoots bugholes and there isn't any sign that I have shot the barrel. These are very hot loads- above the accuracy Node! No exceptions: I have always gotten at least a 95fps velocity gain without adding powder. I have added up to 2 grains of powder after nitriding and it was in two different barrels. In the 300RUM 19" my velocity is currently running quite obscene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not have the barrel before Nitriding so I haven't a comparison ( before & After). Remember I shared the 300WSM velocity in the 24" rifle barrel? The 300 RUM shoots the 180grain faster from a 19" barrel. Documented Fact: 308 Win 208 AMAX, 28" Nitrided barrel 2800fps!!! Accuracy--- one hole for 5 shots. Documented: M16 full auto- 500 rounds continuous shooting, barrel melted and began drooping. NITRIDE! [/QUOTE]
