I've been shooting Heavy Metal Division this year for 3 gun. The Current barrel is the 16" RECON barrel that came on the DPMS; it's OK... cold, it's ~2 MOA barrel, but as it heats up, the groups open up. It only becomes a problem when there are longer shots (250 yards+) at the end of a stage. I was thinking about upgrading the barrel to a Shilen barrel- they are available in .750 and .875 diameter at the gas block.
My question is this: will there much difference between .750 and .875, performance-wise? I know one will heat up/cool down slightly slower, but will they perform about the same, otherwise? I have a TJC Titan comp that's .750, but if the .875 will perform better, I'll just replace the comp.
