[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2585465, member: 54178"] Asi I understand the latest research it is [B]HEAT[/B] that causes throat erosion. That said some things can slow down this process such as a stainless steel barrel, cold hammer forged barrels, chrome plating the throats and cryogenic treatment. Me? I prefer cold hammer forged stainless steel but I have a 6.5 CM "normal" chrome/moly cold hammer forged RUGER Precision Rifle barrel and a 6.5 PRC stainless steel Browning X-Bolt Pro barrel. Soon I'll need a new RPR barrel. RUGER does sell a "Custom Shop" 6 mm PRC RPR with a cold hammer forged stainless barrel and I'm hoping I can buy a barrel like that for my 6.5 CM RPR. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
