I think that with a CM action and barrel, Melonite might be a better way to go than Cerakote. Melonite offers good rust protection and there's no coating to scratch or chip. My thoughts as well, if I'm paying for a surface treatment, I'd take Melonite/nitride any day over Cerakote or any other coating. And it can be done on stainless as well.

No coating of any type is ever used for the chamber. So yes, go with a stainless barrel.

'loder,
Do you use Wipe out? I get the reddish orange color from wipe out for some reason. I was also wondering if he was seeing copper or some other residue, rather than rust. Rust, plain and simple. You could see it with the naked eye near the muzzle as well. Not my first rodeo

I'm not trying to discredit you or anything, it's just that your observation goes squarely against all the experience I have with the stuff, which is fairly considerable.
