Joel Kendrick is a two-time IBS 600-yard Benchrest Shooter of the Year. Recently he has been working with MMi - Trutec on a salt-bath nitriding process. This is similar to the melonite process used on many military barrels to extend barrel life. Salt-bath nitriding changes the surface molecular structure of the steel for about 4-8 microns. This creates a very hard surface, reduces friction and can extend barrel life dramatically. Joel shows his own match rifle, which is still competitive even with 5000 rounds through the 6mm barrel.
