One thing I've learned about firearm upgrades is there usually is no free lunch. There is always some sort of trade off, usually a small one.
BCM/Sabre use the 410 grade SS on their barrels. It's said that this is better than the 416 SS barrels commonly used (such as Noveske) because it is harder. What exactly makes harder SS better? Will it meaningfully wear less and last longer? Accuracy differences? Are there any trade-offs or disadvantages of 410 SS Vs. 416 SS?
