[QUOTE="ctd12vfan, post: 1055421, member: 88820"] As far as I understand it, you are correct about the effects of cryo. My hypothesis about increased break in time is for the increased barrel life. My theory being, if the barrel lasts longer, then break in could also take longer. What I really need to do is get matching barrels, cryo one, shoot both, and then inspect, destructively if necessary. Of course that is a lot of time, money, and waste of good barrels for a result I'm not certain of yet. Maybe I will do this some day when I have lots of money to burn and am really bored. Until then, I do have a testable theory to my problem and if the accuracy improves with more rounds, then I'll have an idea as to the answer. [/QUOTE]
