[QUOTE="sirrocco, post: 452603, member: 6384"] I am about to have a batch of cut rifled barrels made out of 17-4 Ph stainless steel and was curious as to whether or not you guys shooting over-bore large capacity magnums might be interested in a barrel that would last say 2,500 accurate rounds versus's the 800 or so that one often gets. The 17PH is hardened to about 44RC in comparison to 416R which is about 28RC which is why the barrel life is extended by approx 3 times. So what do you think, if they prove to be just as accurate as 416 tubes but life is greatly extended would they be of any interest to you overbore boys? ( BTW have no concerns about chambering the harder steel, its not a problem.) [/QUOTE]
