    I would find it more interesting if relevant metrics had been kept. Xray'd bolt every 1000rds past 7000, and 300m grouping w/ 55, 62, 70 & 77gr every 1000rd past initial 7000.
    He did not xray but he did brake the bolts around the 16k mark if I recall correctly.

    Curious do you know what kind of accuracy it was getting just before the rebuild

    I think it was 4" groups at 50M.

    That's impressive. Just the cost in ammo is astounding.
    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC) Power should only be given to those that want it least.

    It makes one wonder what a CHF barrel would do. Or possibly what a bolt would do with the A5 system in place.

    I keep hearing differing opinions on CHF. Some say it makes no difference, since the hard chroming makes surface hardness, some say it does.

    While I'm no metallurgist, if the steel under the chrome lining is harder, I would imagine that can only increase barrel life. How much is the million dollar question.

    EDIT: I also wonder if gain twist rifling would add to barrel life due to reduced engraving forces required at the throat.

    I would really like to see a similar long term test done with the bhf barrel

    I'm not sure exactly what it means. I have read that it's just a cheap way of making barrels, but I don't know exactly what it means.

    I would really like to have the amount of ammo to be able to do it
