Help me build a rifle

I dont believe that has been measurably true either.

Only people i've seen with results actually measuring deflection are alex wheeler and the Alterra arms guys. Both found sporter steel barrels that weighed roughly the same as carbons had roughly the same stiffness.

Carbon barrels are a racket IMO.

Surely you don't mean to suggest I have been misinformed by the ppl of the interwebz?

Reading the Alterra article right now. Thanks for pointing it out. Wild, interesting stuff.

Yeah, i cant explain the why. Not much of a debate on carbon fiber vs steel stiffness for a given weight but how it's bonded to the steel must not have played out functionally the way they thought?

Since you don't reload, I'd go check out price and availability of the ammo before you decide on what caliber. I haven't looked at all but my guess is the newer calibers have less availability and higher cost.

There are advantages and disadvantages of most calibers.

I missed the reloading part. I wouldn't do 22 creedmoor if not a reloader. 6 Creedmoor is a pretty good alternative in that case. I've shot a bunch of 6 creed factory ammo at $1-$1.40 very well.

We have a 6 creed. Cheaper Ruger but it’s a shooter.
