I heard bead blasting your barrel added 200fps on any load.
Bead blasting

Correct, beads make little divots and dont score/etch the surface like an abrasive aluminum oxide grit will. The ceramic needs some sharp little etching to stick to and the beads do not provide that.
I get my bare stainless bead blasted because it looks better to me than polished. Any other benefit besides aesthetics, such as heat dissipation, would be too minute to have a practical benefit imo.
