That is very interesting. I know guys with carbon fiber wrapped barrels. Carbon fiber barrels are usually wrapped in a diagonal pattern. Since carbon molecules are composed of atoms perfectly aligned at 90 degree angles, that refuse to flex under stress, it is an awesome material to use in high-stress applications.
The .338 Edge group at the proofresearch site is pretty phenomenal... 3.11" group at 1124 yards. A buddy of mine who is huge into long-range shooting bought a Sako TRG .338 LM with the intention of re-barreling it right off the bat. He decided to just check and see how it would do at 1000yds, so he loaded up some 250gr Scenars, zeroed it, dialed in his 1000yd dope, and shot a 2.5" 3-round group first time. "I ain't changin' a thing!" There are guys now making regular 1st-round hits with .338 LM at 2000m when the wind is low, using the 300gr Scenars.
