[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 2015568, member: 20438"] In Bryan Litz's book, Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting I came away with the following info on the comparisons between steel and CF barrels. 1. CF barrels heat up slower but cools down slower. 2. CF is not stiffer than equal diameter steel. Both steel and CF of equal diameters were compared and when a weight is placed at one end of each, CF has more deflection. But this does not mean that CF is less accurate. Consistent vibration wave length is the important factor. [/QUOTE]
