Are carbon wrapped barrels really worth the extra $$ ?

[QUOTE="distantfoe, post: 1639514, member: 4357"] Haven’t messed with any small caliber carbon barrels but have worked with several 28 Nosler and larger calibers. Two things that stand out in my experience has been the tendencies for groups to move as well as flyers within the group. This is very similar to several button rifled barrels I ran into over the years. Only way I’ve found to consistently shoot tiny groups has been to wait at least 5 minutes between shots. For myself, this technique produces consistent small groups. Thinking through the heat discussion, even when wrapped in carbon there’s still a steel liner within. When the exterior feels cooler, the liner [U]can[/U] be extremely hot. [/QUOTE]
