[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 842412, member: 9551"] I tend to use the 6.5 VLD bullets instead of the 7mm bullets but I too am intrigued by the Berger 180 VLD in 7mm. I have burned through plenty of Retumbo, Ramshot Magnum, H-1000, etc to feel your pain. I too am a barrel burner. I do not own a Lilja barrel but own Krieger, McGowen, Rock Creek, Bartlein, Hart and Shilen custom barrels. What I can say is that by all means have your barrel "nitrocarburized". It will double the life (at least) and will perform better throughout its life. It makes them slick inside as well as hard. Use HBN coating. It will all but eliminate copper fouling and reduce barrel friction. You will have to add powder to get similar velocities but you could actually gain velocity with even more powder. Zoom. [/QUOTE]
