[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2225965, member: 605"] I’ve had about 5 Proof carbons and a couple steel. I’ve had a lot of Bartlein steel and one carbon. All have shot about the same. None appreciably sped up. The Bartlein carbon cleans crazy easy but is the only one where I did a break-in procedure. I ran a proof in 65SS at an NRL Hunter match a month or so ago and it was fine. I then ran it at an ELR match and it was not. Once it warmed up it was all over the place. Other shooters there had experienced that with carbon barrels before. Mind you, at these matches you’re shooting a max of 8 rounds at a stage with significant time to cool between stages. Even with the above experience I’ll continue to use carbon on my hunting guns where weight is a factor and I want to run a suppressor. [/QUOTE]
