[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 413648, member: 2736"] Not to start an argument but when you say it does help accuracy then why doesn't the bench rest guys use them. If they were better they would all have fluted barrels. I am a metallurgist and speed of stress relieving temperatures is fixed and the hold time is what gives it it's desired effect so speed is not an option for a proper stress relief. Also a #5+ (Lilja barrel is .700 at the muzzle) is able to handel fluting well. I think Lilja will flute down to a #4 . Some other barrel makers use a different number system for there barrels and there #5 may be to small. I like the Lilja size system because it relates to factory barrels all the way down to the ultra light barrels of mountain rifles and some of the Weatherby buggy whips (They are a # 2 Contour). So I will stay with my original statement that for the long range Shooter they are not any better They just look better to some people. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
