It would be interesting to see if chrome lined barrels were as accurate as premium SS tubes.

I'm a hunter and this barrel will last me as long as I will hunt. I do have a number of rifles to shoot, so this one doesn't get all the wear.

It's a flat shooter, kicks about like a 7RM. I use 869 and 872 powder with Fed 215's, 140 NAB's/NPT's and 120 E-Tips/TTSX's.

....Thanks. Good input.....Browning apparently recognized the problem ahead of time deciding to chrome line all 26 Nosler barrels.

So far, I haven't read anything about an X Bolt chambered in a 26 Nosler having accuracy issues.
