[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2225995, member: 95013"] Generally your thinking is fine. In this case I was not referring to the lands and grooves. By wearing out I mean - every time a piece of steel is flexed it loses repeatability and strength properties due to stress over time. The thinner the steel, the more it is prone to lose stiffness and signature through barrel whip. Carbon has significantly higher tolerance to this over time, so much so that it is not perceptible to anyone other than measuring machines. Also, carbon is a natural vibration dampener and as such, can help cut down on felt recoil and follow through vibration during the shot. Lastly, due to its stiffness over time, the point at which the bullet leaves the barrel during the whip signature will stay more constant and repeatable than steel [/QUOTE]
