Okay....and my error. All steels are alloys of iron with the carbon content varying and the addition of other elements like nickel molyddenum, chromium, silicon, etc. Stainless has a high carbon content and varying chromium etc. I was incorrect about its identifying number....its a 3 digit beginning with 2,3,4, or 5. Rifle barrels in stainless are preferred in the 4 range like 416r (high carbon with chromium and molybdenum and nickel in these Martensitic stainless steels. No one questions your wisdom ,,,oh great western guru

Apology accepted. Oh yeah, my entry fee for the best HP Silhouette Regional Match known to man is on the way.
