[QUOTE="Justice1327, post: 2398488, member: 117337"] You get more weight savings with a spiral flute. However, a 300RUM might have heat “issues“long before my .243 in the same barrel contour. What is the intended purpose of the rifle? I have 10 Carbon brl guns with Proof and Barlein brls. I have 12 or so custom/ semi-custom rifles with fluted barrels. The thing I have learned is the rifle must be balanced. It isn’t just about weight. Scopes and stocks play a large part of that. WRT heat issue: Define the issue. A good barrel, chambered and mounted correctly should not walk on you w/ 5 or less shots. But again... what cartridge are we talking about. [/QUOTE]
