[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1916324, member: 94491"] sig said they will offer the ss head/2 part brass for reloading at a later date--they also stated that they do use a "proprietary" (I assume that means they have a patent on it) barrel treatment that significantly increases barrel life over non-treated barrels--barrel life will be released once the MIL contract is decided, until then its a "secret" as are the exact specs of the cartridge notice they say "treatment" not coating--to me that sounds more like a nitride type of process--maybe something like cobalt? just guessing--but I'm assuming they have improved on it somehow also they have applied through saami for this cartridge, so it will be open source for all ammunition manufactures to have ammo for it and also any rifle manu that wishes to chamber a rifle in this caliber will be an option too--the hard part for the ammo companies will be the 2 part case--it takes $, and tooling--SIG said right now the SS bases are machined but they are looking into other processes in the future to make production faster and less expensive not heard about who will offer dies for it yet though [/QUOTE]
