[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 723386, member: 43468"] IIRC Kirby Allen said something about a cut rifle barrel being harder than a button but dont quote me on that. I am trying to find it. EDIT: found this, was right and wrong. Posted by Kirby Allen In my experience, a button pulled barrel will break in quicker on average then a cut rifled barrel. I can not say it is because the way the barrel was rifled but it may. It may also be that cut rifled barrels on average are much harder then button pulled barrels. The button pulled barrels have to be softer or the button simply can not be pulled through the bore with good results. Some say the harder barrels will have longer barrel life, I have not found this to really be the case. I have found that land width and throat dimensions have much more effect on this then the steel used in the barrels. [/QUOTE]
