[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1502764, member: 68875"] Cooper and Kimber flute some pretty thin contoured barrels, and they still shoot well. If done properly, it is hard to say if it effects accuracy or not. My 6.5SS w. #3b spiral fluted Bartlein was previously a .260 Rem. Same barrel, but not fluted. When I had Axisworks rechamber it to 6.5SS I had Eric spiral flute it. It went from a .2" .260 to a .2" 6.5SS. With proper load development, I did not lose any accuracy that I have noted to blame the spiral fluting for. But the gain of 350fps with the same bullet, and losing about 5oz is a great trade even if I would have lost .05" of accuracy. [/QUOTE]
