Both have done at least 700 rounds without issue, mixture of brass and steel. The phosphate even produced a 1” group with OTM rounds at 50m. The nitride was about 3” though. IMO, if your defensive rifles are covered and you just want to add to the stockpile or have a beater gun then they can be great options for the money (the phosphate was $199 including BCG, the nitride was about $225 without BCG IIRC). I only buy ones with fixed FSPs though, I figure they’re harder to mess up and pair well with Magpul handguards.
