[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 387092, member: 20047"] I would think the only thing a heavy barrel gives you is a little more thermal mass so you can shoot a few more before you reach the point where you should allow it to rest. The flutes in the barrels should give either a tiny bit more rigidity and more surface area to dissapate the heat. I peronally think that the loads themselves and the pressues etc,, have more impact than the weight or length of the barrel. I would add that if you have more thermal mass, once you get it to same temp, you would have longer to cool it..... but I am not an engineer...completely...in this field. I did stay at a holiday inn express recently though:) LOL [/QUOTE]
