[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 2015741, member: 26535"] There are two ways to figure out the true total heat transfer rate of a carbon barrel. Measure multiple heat up and cool down rates with trying to keep comparison of shot string times consistent between the steel and the carbon barrels or get the carbon barrel manufacturers to give you their thermal diffusivity numbers which they won't. That is after all one of the things they spend r and d money on. I am still in the who cares camp. I use carbon barrels because they are lighter. A 26" number 4 steel weighs 4lbs. A 26" proof carbon weighs 3lbs, a CA arms weighs 3lbs, a Carbon six weighs 3lbs, HCA weighs 2.75 and Fierce weighs 2.5lbs. I have had all shoot extremely well. [/QUOTE]
