[QUOTE="ctd12vfan, post: 1055980, member: 88820"] The rifle barrels are custom made, not factory. The Axis has a Mcgowen 1:10 and the AR has a White Oak Armament 1:8. Garycrow, you didn't miss it before, I left them out intentionally. As for the cryo treatment, I understand it is a controversial topic. However, I think that the science behind it is sound. Also, these are an experiment in accuracy. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have mounted and tested these barrels first, that is a correction I am making on the next one. Garycrow: I do not think the cryo is a cure-all or magic fixer. As for melonite, it is outside my budget at the moment but I plan to use it on some of my rifles too. I do have a theory I will be testing as to what is causing my problems. Additionally, after reviewing some high speed footage from the other day I will also be looking at one other thing too. The main intention of this post was not to debate the effects of cryo. It was to get a better idea about barrel break in and accuracy. My thought at the time was that if cryo increases barrel life then it might also mean that it takes longer to break in. I think I mentioned it in the OP, but I do not subscribe to the commonly understood standard of shoot and clean, shoot and clean. I do think that a new barrel does take a few rounds to become accurate. [/QUOTE]
