I refreshed every single minute between 8-9 CST. Whose leg do I have to hump around here to get a 12.5?!
Just an aside. A lot depends on how the Rifling is done. Cold Hammer Forged 416R Barrels will outlast button pulled 416R barrels and 4150 barrels. Some have even or outlast CHF 4150 Barrels that have melonite or chrome. The problem with Chrome and Melonite is that they apply unevenly and they wear unevenly as well.It doesn't really matter but everything I have read states just the opposite. 416R will usually be more accurate but 4150 will outlast it and stand up to heat better. Most people will never shoot out a barrel regardless of what material it is made of. 3-4 thousand rounds is plenty for most people.
I guess that we will just have to have differing opinions on the subject. I said I would be fine with untreated 4150 and I stick by that statement. The rest of you experts are certainly welcome to your opinions.Just an aside. A lot depends on how the Rifling is done.

You are right that 4150 will outlast a 416R if used in a FULL AUTO situation, but 99% of Civilian rifles aren't Full Auto so people aren't likely to notice..
The ones who do are your 3gun Match shooters. Because they put thousands upon thousands of rounds through them every year.
I mention this only because this is what I've spent the last 5 years on.
How is melonite applied unevenly or better yet what do you think Melonite is?Just an aside. A lot depends on how the Rifling is done.
