[QUOTE="reed mosser, post: 30510, member: 1589"] Brent I will psot some pics asap. The reason I tensioned the barrel with alumnium was to make the barrel lighter and still shoot like a heavy barrel.My 30 laupa with 30 inch tensioned barrel weighs only 10 pounds with a barrel over 1 inch in diameter. I don't think the tensioned barrels shoot much better, but they do cool faster, especially with alumnium. I had a heavy stainless tensioned barrrel and it shot good but did not cool down nearly as fast as alumnium. I think the alumnium is a better material than the steel for that reason. I love big barrlels without all that weight for hunting rigs and it gives me that. The 330 gr GS bullet is pretty streamlined for a 416.
