I shot just over his back at 985, which tells me that my load is going out of tune from throat erosion. After reranging, I held a 1/2 minute low and centered him.

I only know of one other nitrided barrel on a 300 WM. It has maybe 200 rounds and looks pristine. Interestingly, my new CZ 457 in 17 HMR has a nitrided barrel. I'm sure I'll never wear it out even though I shoot it a lot.
I have a nitrided barrel on one of my 7.62x39 AR's and a couple of my 5.56x45 AR's are as well they would run a few thousand rounds any way without a problem. I did notice that the 17 HMR's I've had need cleaned more often, one of them copper fowled really fast and I never did get it to stop fowling, even by hand lapping it, about twenty rounds is all it would ever shoot well.

How much windage did you need?

It was a pretty easy wind call. 5 mph at about 11:30, so 12.5 U and 1.0 L and it centered him perfectly.
