[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1977229, member: 110615"] Have you shot CF barrels side by side with stainless barrels at the same time and felt the difference? I don’t know what it means but the the CF barrel heats up faster to the touch and cools down faster. For the heat to be felt it must be transferred through the carbon right? For it to cool down it must be a cooler temp in the bore as well I would think. This is not scientific just what I have observed. Carbon Fiber heat conductivity varies greatly from what the carbon fiber material is made up of and how it it’s laid up and oriented to the source of heat. It can be much more or much less conductive than metal. It’s also transfers heat differently than metal. [/QUOTE]
