Thanks for the heads up. With regards to my father in laws rifle as its sitting right now more than 25percent of the rifling is gone. Of course he was loading 150 grain bullets aproaching 3500fps. Kinda hot.

I'll look into the barrel nitrididing. Do you know of anyone doing the treatment, or what kind of nitriding is used?(salt bath,ect)
