[QUOTE="kgunz11, post: 2881814, member: 5110"] Take any #3 contour barrel and shoot 6 rounds of 300 PRC and I promise you the groups will start to walk from heat. There's nothing wrong with the barrel, the carbon wrap, the rifle, or the ammo. It's just how the steel responds to getting that hot. They claim CF dissipates heat faster, but independent testing has proven that Carbon Fiber wrapped barrels hold heat longer than a steel barrel of the same size. I like carbon wrapped barrels for what they are. I build guns with a bunch of them, and I know their limitations. [/QUOTE]
