[QUOTE="Evilsports, post: 2308185, member: 40834"] Carbon barrels aren't that new. I had a rifle built a decade ago with a Rock Creek carbon fiber. It sat in my safe until this year. I was doing cold bore load development and checking temps with a temp gun. I was really surprised to find that the inside of the barrel would only raise a few degrees in temp, even after 5 shot groups. I think that carbon fiber barrels aren't as bad as some folks think. Mine dissipated the heat much better that I expected. Cold bore to warm bore POI was basically identical. [/QUOTE]
