[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 1982454, member: 67159"] Please see: [SIZE=5][B][URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B4takk5pM4&t=819s']TACOM HQ Structured Barrels ~ Rex Reviews[/URL][/B][/SIZE] We do not produce any carbon fiber versions at this time. We do believe carbon fiber barrels absolutely have their place. We took a different route specifically addressing harmonics, extended round count (which is irrelevant to a hunter), active cooling, extremely wide nodes, acceptance of bullet weights and barrel life. Computer simulations can be seen at TACOMHQ.com. We too have hung weights on our barrels for semi real world comparisons but the proof (no pun intended) is in the pudding. Our standard test, recently performed with a world ranking F1 group, is with our 300 Norma. We shoot 230gr Berger Hybrids, Sierra 190 MK, and 168 Sierra MK's. Velocities range from 2950 for the 230's, 3100 for the 190's and both 3400 and 2200 for the 168's. All produce sub 3/8moa groups with less than 1/2moa shift total left to right. This was with F1 shooters used to laminate guns versus our chassis systems. Heat gain- on a typical 85degree day of 16 rounds will give us about a 15deg heat gain with the 300Norma shooting full charge 230's. The chamber is the coolest point on the barrel. The F1 guys immediately bought two barrels... [/QUOTE]
