[QUOTE="Savage 22-243 AI, post: 1797206, member: 106450"] As stated SS is easier to machine, CM takes more care. I use Ceramic liquid on inside and out of my CM barrels and have no problems. Faster break-in on SS, slow break-in on CM. Want to upset a barrel maker? Ship them a Lother Walter SS barrel blank to machine. My gunsmith said to never send him another. Hardest material he ever worked on. He had to slow lathe speed down and change cutting oil to something different to make it work. [/QUOTE]
