[QUOTE="Longtooth32, post: 1386970, member: 89326"] I just got my first Proof Research carbon in 6.5x284. Savage pre-fit. At first I thought I was going to crush the carbon fiber in the barrel vise...no such luck. That carbon is strong. I put 100 rounds of fast 140gr bullets (Nosler 140 RDF and Berger 140 EOL, RL26) down the barrel. No break in...I then cleaned the barrel after those first 100 rounds. There was very little copper in the barrel. I am assuming that the barrel was machined very well... The barrel barely got warm. Seems to run cooler than my metal barrels... [/QUOTE]
