[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 2073304, member: 109327"] Lance is dead on and I'd say quite familiar with shooting and the Sherman Cartridges. The Carbon barrel isn't helping you with heat dissipation like many manufacturers would like you to believe. They are great for saving weight but show POI shift from heat just like lighter contour steel barrels ( think #3 bartlein or less, they are turned down quite a bit for the carbon wrapping). They don't typically show mirage in your scope which is why a lot of people buy off on them not heating up as fast, but it's not true. If you built this gun for PRS or any style of competition shooting, a carbon wrapped barrel was the wrong choice. I have quite a few carbon barrels on rifles so from my experience that's why I am saying this. Not trying to ruffle your feathers, just my take from some experience [/QUOTE]
