[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 10130, member: 12"] Nighthawk Yes, I am aware that fluting can be done to reduce cooling time. That is why I said "mostly". However, that is not really practical reason for fluting on most guns. If you shoot a magnum to get it hot, there probably is not a measurable difference on drops in temp over time to allow it to cool. You lose weight and rigidity of the barrel when fluting, not to mention if the guy doing it does not do it right, they can induce heat related warping in the barrel. Lot of trade offs, so make sure you know what the pluses and minuses are before just jumping out there. BH [/QUOTE]
