[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1977329, member: 42494"] What about the Christiansen Arms CF barrels? Do you have any data on their cooling? Mine starts throwing rounds after 3 shots very consistently. Groups great for the first cold 3 shots, then the group opens up significantly. I have read many threads saying groups opening up after a few shots is common for CF barrels. So, for hunting, 3 shots would be acceptable, but not for working up a good load or for range practice or for competition, and other higher volume shooting. I think the argument of the military going to CF barrels for accuracy is laughable. They rarely do aimed fire. Ever watch videos of fire fights? They just hold their rifles above their heads and empty their magazines. Except for snipers, most don't aim their rifles. Even the machine gunners just spray ammo in a general direction where they think the enemy may be located. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) did a study that said the Army shoots on average 10,000 rounds for 1 hit. [/QUOTE]
