[QUOTE="JCow14, post: 1689518, member: 110470"] IMO the proof barrels heat very quickly compared to steel barrels and i don't think they are stiffer than steel at the same barrel diameter. However they are significantly less weight and I believe they are stiffer than a steel barrel of that same weight class. Probably one of the best barrels for back pack hunting. i have a 26" in 28 Nosler and shoots great- but it does heat up quickly after 3 rounds. In the book Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting Vol 2 both Bryan Litz and Cal Zant both did extensive tests on all barrels including proofs and Christensen arms, it was interesting to read the conclusions on barrel wear, heat, stiffness, POI shifts and weight for all the barrels.
