[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1873534, member: 38048"] The custom barrel maker I use has his barrels frozen in large batches. He thinks it's worth it. My only expiernce with it was last yr my friend had it done to his Savage barrel. He shoots in a factory class match so has to use the factory barrel. After bedding and everything I could think of his gun would shift impact point during a relay. It would just start walking the bullet on a horizontal plane. We ship his barrel out after I told him it probably wouldn't do anything. But to my disbelief it actually did fix the problem. He won the yr in that class and every other class at his range. Now for the durability part. His 6br barrel had 5 inches of cracking in it at 1000 rounds. Now this could be the quality of Savage steel. And he only shoots 108 Berger's at 2800fps so he didn't hotrod the heck out of it. I just recently cut about 4.5 inches of of it and rechambered it and it shoots even better than it did before. This factory Savage shoots in the 1s and 2s. Pretty impressive. The freezing did settle his barrel down but I don't think it helped longevity. Shep [/QUOTE]
