Looking good for anything if your not using a rear bag! With some well executed StoneHendges. Be careful with the heat. My 223 arrived today and I'm pretty impressed. But it's not how hot the cf gets, it's the steel core inside. If anything, the muzzle brake is going to cool faster than the steel barrel core since the brake has 100% air flow around it while air flow on the core is hindered by the cf sleeve.
I may have mine up and running by the weekend if I can find something to put on the muzzle and borrow a Timney from my 300 BLK while I wait for Geisseles to go on sale. The steel core in front of the gas block looks to be about the same 0.625" diameter as in my 20" 223. If it's not too expensive, I want to get a thermometer and compare how fast the BSF cools with my 20". Take 10 or 20 shots with the same ammo and then see where the temps are at intervals - ill probably try and measure by the chamber and just past the gas block. If I can't get a thermometer in the cutouts, they both have 15" rails so I could do the measurement there.
