RE: It'll be a cold day in he....
hc4runner,no,I am a toolmaker in Henderson and we grind carbon for electrodes to burn steel.
Thundermug,you are correct there is a difference between fiber and dust.I would think that a pure dust would be more dangerous than a mixture but I could be mistaken.The rest of your comments actually backed up what I was saying about splintering and cutting you.
This whole argument about the dangers is like saying not to eat a deer shot with a lead bullet because you might get lead poison.
Come on guys get a grip.Use what you want and have confidence in it.
The best long range shooters in the world use a combination of carbon and aluminum because there are positives to both.
