[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2354247, member: 61747"] I have 5 carbons and none have an issue walking. I have shot strings of 10-12 but don't do that in general with my hunters and expensive carbon barrels but I have done it with every one of them at least once to confirm. I have steel trainers and PRS comp rifles for high count strings. I do shoot strings of 5 with a carbon for load development and accuracy confirmation etc and see zero issues walking. Now I also run a suppressor on my carbons 100% of the time and those things show mirage in a horrible way. So unless I have a strong side wind I know I'll get a lot of heat coming into the scope view. Sometimes its so bad that shooting that string is worthless. I'll either stove pipe the rifle with the bolt open and clear the excessive heat for a min or time the heat wave so the target is clear. [/QUOTE]
