To lessen movement caused by barrel whip, what type of barrel should you consider using?

When considering the reduction of movement caused by barrel whip, choosing a heavy barrel is beneficial. A heavy barrel has more mass, which helps to dampen vibrations that occur when a bullet is fired. This increased mass reduces the effects of barrel whip, leading to improved accuracy, especially during rapid fire or when the rifle is subjected to recoil.

In comparison, lightweight barrels tend to be less stable and more prone to the vibrations that result in barrel whip. Semi-auto barrels and big bore barrels do not inherently offer the same stability against these movements as a heavy barrel does. Therefore, for enhanced stability and accuracy, a heavy barrel is the optimal choice.
