[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 694698, member: 5302"] I'd use a 24 inch medium weigh barrel that ain't fluted. For a contour, 1.1 inch diameter at the back for 2 inches, then taper down for 2 inches to .85 inch diameter, then a straight taper to the muzzle that's .70 inch diameter. I can calculate for you its weight as well as resonant frequency so other barrels could be compared for stiffness, too. Higher frequency equals stiffer barrel. But I wouldn't get up tight about barrel stiffness, each onel whips at its same frequency for every shot.; doesn't change with your load, your diet or what color the target is. [/QUOTE]
