Followup on Nitride:

A flaw caused by natural procession or neglect?

Last week I sent my 6.5 barrel back to Benchmark though they did not do the Nitriding. I was having a major problem getting the spent cases from the chamber.

They have had a number of Nitrided barrels that when bore scoped looked like frost inside when they came back from Nitriding.. My barrel had the frost and after 250 rounds it looked extremely frosted. Benchmark is handlapping the bores and chambers as previously stated because for whatever reason some of the barrels have that frosting affect so they are smoothing the inside of the barrels so we as the consumer will not have that extraction problem.

We are guessing it is the salt/chemical deposit that can not be cleaned by normal means like I did wwhen I got the barrel back. Plus I haven't a bore scope so I could not see that the chamber needed smoothing from the Frost.
None of my other barrels has shown this but none of the other barrels are a 6.5 WSM.

Just updated information
