[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1387924, member: 4191"] Hard to get an apples to apples comparison, without commercial grade pressure testing equipment in use. Also, nitriding a barrel is normally done before the barrel has been completely broken in and seasoned, which means velocity has typically not stabilized before nitride treatment. So how does one compare... Compare to what? I would not nitride a barrel for additional velocity. Other reasons - yes. Commonly accepted is that nitride treatment will reduce friction. If that's true, then nitrided barrels should be capable of additional velocity at equal pressures. How much, is your question... a little would be my guess... Comparable to HBN coated bullets - which also reduce bullet to bore friction. [/QUOTE]
