[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1727972, member: 59526"] I haven’t spent much time in carbon barrels or had much interest. I’m sure it achieves the goal of providing an equally stiff barrel at a lower weight than a steel counterpart. However, I don’t see how it could dissipate heat as quickly as a steel barrel or how it couldn’t heat up more quickly. Maybe it’s less affected by heat with regard to cold bore shift but all things being equal there’s less steel to absorb and dissipate the heat and carbon fiber is not a great conductor. My vote is for a midweight steel barrel [/QUOTE]
