NONONO

Some of the steels used today for making muzzleloading barrels, are 12L14 - that's "leaded" steel & is said to become brittle when subjected to repeated pressure impacts. Others are 1157 - V-few are 4140 or 5140- only a few and are they properly heat treated or smokeless pressures? - who knows?
