My experience is with jacketed bullets. Now in what context was Cryo used? Most barrel cryo folks do not have the proper equip. to do a deep true cryo. I do have a lot of experience with cryo on barrels and see it as a waste of time and money. It does not stress relieve barrels. I think you will find that Kreiger no longer does cryo.


Dunno' about Krieger.

Easy to answer the bolded red re: "In what context" though,

Your new Badger Barrel has already received an in-house cryo-treatment. (at ? º below 0º F) the 8% austenitic structure is fractured and a subsequent “heat soak”, at 760º F.


The cryo temp was a proprietary situation, and the article (proof read by Ernie and his lovely missus the English teacher WAS published with that question mark,.....

"Proper equipment",....now that's just flat out funny.
