Thoughts on new Seekins barrel tech?

Potentially, yes -- hence the common practice of only adding a small amount of gain.

In this context, heat and pressure are locked together. Increase in pressure = increase in temps. As volume expands, pressure goes down and so does temperature. Gas temps inside the casing at ignition are about 5000F for a microsecond - and as soon as the bullet moves forward, temps start dropping rapidly. It's about 4000F an inch or so past the chamber, and about 1500-2000F by the time the bullet exits the muzzle, depending on cartridge and barrel length.

If those numbers are true, and there is a pressure spike associated with the bullet hitting the lands it seems reasonable that the gain twist will help with barrel life

The video made it sound like the material was the real special sause for barrel life.

There is a good bit of conversation about seekins not being the only one doing these things , but it might be unique in that they are doing , material, sin Wave shaped riffling , and gain twist.

I’m excited to see how they shoot i have two seekins and I’m a big fan

I’ve been noticing a drop in Seekins stock levels, and Bud’s seems to have cleared the shelves. EuroOptic is also shipping their rifles with Poly mags instead of CF mags.

My tinfoil hat is telling me that retailers are going to start seeing shipments of new rifles with the new barrel tech by summer, and we’ll be able to try initial quality at least.
