[QUOTE="TnTom, post: 416293, member: 21944"] No evidence to support my thought about why a fluted barrel might have some advantage. I think it cools faster, my thoughts are to shoot it at a rate that keeps a barrel at a constant temperature. Ive noticed shooting a non fluted barrel that it gets a feel of being heavy and the temperatures seem to trend to hotter than I like. I'd like to rig some kind of temperature measuring device and see what the difference is over 10 and 20 round groups. Does a barrel have a temperature sweet spot? After I've shot 10 rounds and the then hold the barrel a fluted barrel doesnt feel as hot as a non fluted barel. May be my imagination. I think with an event like High Power 600 yd Midrange shooting a fluted barrel would have an advantage using a bolt rifle though most matches are typically shot with ar's or F-Class using a bolt gun. I think a hunting rifle when 1 or 2 shots are made temperature is a non issue and a lighter gun is nice to carry a long ways (even if only in your mind). I think fluted barrels have their place but I don't think I'll ever see a H&H .600 something with flutes. [/QUOTE]
