[QUOTE="Skimbleshanks, post: 2015748, member: 22552"] Fluting a barrel = cooler temps and longer life... thats what they said in the 90's Cryo treat a barrel = longer barrel life Moly coating bullets makes almost no pressure in the barrel extending life x times longer. I think the claims of a cooler barrel and longer life matter to people that are investing twice as much in a product and hoping to get twice the performance. Carbon barrels are light* they are stiff* and they look cool*. Many of them also seem to shoot well*. If that makes you happy and you have the money by all means go forth and be happy. I just see lots of creedmoorish hype wrapped around these barrels. [/QUOTE]
