"stainless Steel vs Chrome Moly Barrel Casting Which is Better? "

[Atkinson]

"i've been thinking about getting a new gun barrel and was torn between stainless steel and chrome moly. Does anyone here have any experience with these? "

[Fay]

"i've used both and I would say it really depends on what you want out of it. Stainless steel barrels are typically more accurate, but chrome moly is more durable. "

[Dunn1]

"i second that statement. Chrome moly barrels also tend to withstand higher temperatures better than stainless steel barrels. "

[Julius]

"true, but stainless steel barrels have better corrosion resistance than chrome moly barrels which is a huge plus in my book. "
