Carbon vs steel barrel

[D@l@N]

I am building a 22 Creedmoor bolt gun. I need input on barrel selection. I will be going 22” and can’t decide between Proof carbon Sendero light or steel. If I go steel I am looking at a Light Palma contour in Proof, K&P, or preferred. So my ask is, carbon or steel, and if steel what brand would you recommend??

Can or no can?

Get whichever look you prefer. Carbon is more $ but looks better imo. I have both and both shoot great. Proof or C6 on carbon and I've used PBB, Mcgowan and proof steel.

Can or no can?

Can 100% of the time

Carbon barrels look cool
But they don’t really have any functional advantage.

Maybe the larger surface to shoulder the silencer could be a benefit but the carbon ones aren’t lighter or more accurate than a quality steel barrel. I’d get a barrel from lilja.
