[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 2071408, member: 67159"] Let's say that ALL steel barrels are inferior to carbon fiber barrels. However to make that statement the boundaries must be understood. All engineering is an exercise in compromise. 1moa is acceptable for 10rds vs .5moa for 30rds is two different applications. 6mm vs .460Steyr are totally different animals at this time. Application and limits of engagement- 800yd max gun? 1500yd max gun, 2500yd max gun? Engagement period and time between shots Accuracy Precision Group Size Group Drift Velocity Drift Velocity itself for a given load and bullet SD drift ES drift Atmosphere drift Ambient temp drift Round count vs all of the above Weight Longevity Consistency barrel to barrel and manufacturer to manufacturer Cold bore vs std group location Cold bore velocity Ladder test forgiveness Bullet weight forgiveness Velocity forgiveness Cost How fast to cool back down and return to expected moa capability? Rounds fired before fouling reduces accuracy below min standard? Computer simulation vs real world.... is it predictable? What else should we add? This is not an argument. This is an attempt to identify what a good barrel really is. I believe the main argument is CF is superior in all of the above categories. Data, Data, Data... Maybe we should open a new thread. Weight each category and set what you determine is an upper limit. I think some are saying steel barrels are Dinosaurs. Though I will put my money on a T-Rex in any open field against any known predator today...LOL. [/QUOTE]
