[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 830160, member: 41122"] No disrespect westcliff, but i disagree. I feel thermal conductivity it very close between carbon steels and stainless and stainless typically has a much higher melting point and less fatigue at higher temperatures, especially the 300 series. Also i believe the manufacturing process in which barrels are made tends to produce slightly better results on stainless rather than carbon based steel. These differences are relative and dont much affect the long range shooter and i think either material will serve the majority of people just fine. I also believe that a stainless barrel will resist throat erosion a little longer than a carbon steel, but again its splitting hairs. I feel the biggest difference is that a ss barrel usually cost more. [/QUOTE]
