[QUOTE="tacomHQ, post: 2071898, member: 67159"] Tacomhq barrels: Heat mirage is nearly non-existent. The ability to shoot a wide range of bullets within the same vertical. Given a correct bullet for the twist rate and a concentric load - I expect the barrel to shoot. We demo huge bullet weight ranges within the same gun for that pointed purpose. Much more forgiving for a ladder test. Quote "I shot a 11 grain ladder test- I would have used 8 of them normally they shot that good". Recoil is reduced- it is the top first comment people make when they shoot our barrels. Reduce the harmonic whip- stay on target better. It is a radiator. A purposely designed stiff radiator. They are in the same weight category as current steel barrels used by F1 and PRS guys. "Why aren't they used by the F1 guys" - absolutely fair question. Let's see what happens. F1 teams have shot our stuff. They bought barrels on the spot. "Why do we demonstrate 70+grain bullet weight variations (300cal, 375cal...) nobody will ever shoot such a range": Diva. I do not consider a barrel design great if it can only shoot one bullet with one specific powder charge. The demonstration is to show the barrels ability to hold a vertical line with changing inputs. My thought is that in the field inputs change. Again- Apologies given to this CF thread. It did branch into shooting avenues outside of hunting. I think part of it is [ATTACH type="full"]239191[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]239192[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]239193[/ATTACH]what your goal is: if its a all up 7lb 300WM CF all the way (I don't want to shoot it as I don't like being kicked by a mule plus I am not a tri-athlete getting up and down those mountains) or if your goal is a 12lb all up.... well I am prejudice towards our barrel. The bottom line fact is this thread is about weight and 1-3rounds max. [/QUOTE]
