Question Cyrogenic Barrel Treatment

Has anyone tried this cyrogenic barrel treatment on any of their ML's. I've had a couple center fires done and it did improve poi very noticably.
I'm really leaning towards getting my Weathershield TC Endeavor ML cyro'd.
Anyone have any thoughts before I jump?

Well, it's your $$$ so it's ultimately your decision, but if you're getting good accuracy with the gun...How much better do you expect it could get after cryo? Remember, there are a lot more variables with muzzleloading rifles than there are with centerfire rifles. I personally have never had any barrel cryo treated so I can't speak from experience, just taking the variables factor into consideration...

BPS,
I don't have any idea on whether there is any poi improvement by freezing a ML barrel. That is why I am asking for a little input from anyone on this forum that might have had their ML froze or know of someone that has. Yes, the Endeavor shoots very good out of the box. Will freezing the barrel make it shoot better? All I am trying to do is to get the best out of my ML's, which I believe that is what most others on this forum are trying to do. I appreciate your input, BPS.
John

I think that some of the custom muzzle loader barrel makers cyrogenize their barrels after being rifled.
But since the Weathershield finish may be susceptible to being damaged I wouldn't do it.
