[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1946306, member: 9551"] All of my custom barrels and six of my factory barrels have been nitrocarburized. Nitrocarburized barrels last twice as long. I have still worn out three of these. I also shoot coated bullets. All coatings are good. I coat with HBN. It reduces the engraving resistance, decreases the throat heat and pressure, reduces the seating depth importance. I got to thinking. Reloader 23 might be great with 120 -123 gr bullets. I have shot the 123 Lapua moly coated bullets and 120 Sierra MatchKings with great success. Powder selection will also influence barrel life. The VV N-560 I favor, might be the worst blow torch available. Fast double base powders like reloader 17 would be terrible in the throat. A slow single base powder like Retumbo might be the kindest to the throat. Photo is of my nitrocarburized fluted Model 70 6.5-06 Ackley with Bell & Carlson thumbhole stock. [/QUOTE]
