If I had 2 rifles of the same chambering they’d probably be for different use cases and thus might have different loads to fit said use case. I don’t keep barrels that need a certain load in order to shoot well so I can’t see needing to “find a load” for each rifle.
Just as an FYI, the shoulder your adapter is going to index against looks significantly smaller than the 0.100” many recommend as a minimum. I know lots of people have less and do OK, just wanted to point it out.
carbon fiber barrels heat up faster and cool slower than a comparable weight steel barrel.
Alex wheeler did deflection tests to test stiffness and came away with the conclusion that the carbon barrels he tested weren't stiffer than a comparable weight steel barrel.

Assuming you're comparing to a steel barrel of equal weight in this instance? If so that makes sense to me. I'm pretty sure ive seen tests comparing carbon to steel of similar contour (I.E. much heavier) and the steel barrel both heated up slower and cooled down slower than the carbon.
You been drinkin OP?
Here’s the super secret info you were lookin for:

Carbon is a waste of $ unless you think it’s worth that for aesthetic reasons. @p_ham posted this thread showing the options out there to not need a fat barrel for muzzle threads:

I'm positive you're right and that it happens at times. But 5 rounds of 30-06 aint that much and a barrel shouldn't get that hot and if it's properly stress relieved it shouldn't be throwing shots. I'm of the opinion that people blame hot barrels for lots of issues that aren't because of a...
What is the twist rate on that thing? I thought I saw they are putting fast twists on some of those 257s such that you could shoot the new quarter bore heavy pills. That would be a real laser beam with the new 133 berger or 134 ELDm.
To elaborate - Overlay all 3 of those groups with the POA aligned and you get one bigger group with the same general POI. The average of those 3 groups is 1.15 MOA. A gun/load/shooter that averages 1.15 MOA 5 shot MOA should shoot occasional groups smaller and larger than those shown so you...
I don’t bother with it much anymore either. Set bullets roughly 0.050” off and go. The really small increments are particularly worthless in rifles that erode throats at any considerable rate.
For a hunting rifle that most guys are going to shoot 3 round groups varying from say 0.5” to 1.25” or...
