[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2071832, member: 37460"] I’ve said this a couple of times before but I will post it once more. I run CF for one reason only, weight reduction on a heavier profile barrel for hunting purposes that I can still run suppressed. I think most of us here have purchased them for weight reduction. Personally, I never purchased my CF barrels for faster cooling. I have begun 2 new projects though of building short action, shorter barreled hunting rifles, using faster cartridges but using steel barrels. One will be a 18” barrel 300WSM in a lighter varmint profile but fluted, the other a 20” fluted lighter varmint profile Krieger barrel in 6 Creedmoor. If everything comes out right the weight will be close to my CF rigs. Based on my calcs both rifles will come in between 6.5-6.75 pounds depending on bedding materials and other minor inletting items. [/QUOTE]
