[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1388067, member: 59502"] Last spring I had two barrels nitrided... one didn't survive. One was a CM Douglas XX 35 cal. sporter weight, it survived. The other was a SS Mcgowen 26 cal heavy varmint , the same load with RL33 after nitriding blew primers. Went to H50bmg and still had pressure problems. Accuracy never recovered, not even close! Both barrels were thoroughly broken in, cleaned to bare metal before nitriding, then cleaned very very thoroughly after nitriding. To answer the OP question, the one that survived gained about 20fps with the same accuracy. However, the accuracy load increased .5 gr so I would really call it faster just that the load increased at the same pressure. [/QUOTE]
