[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2396996, member: 96226"] I'm waiting for someone to swage a steel barrel core into a finned aluminum outer casing. I'd imagine that that would dissipate heat away from the bore at a rate that would put heavy steel barrels to shame. I'm sure there's a reason it's not common already but I'm not a metallurgist. If the fins were set up correctly I'd imagine you could make the barrel harmonically dead or nearly so which could have dramatic effects on accuracy. [/QUOTE]
