[QUOTE="dwm, post: 264690, member: 1136"] I am considering purchasing a semi-long, heavy barrel. How do you figure out the best taper and whether to flute a long, heavy barrel, before you buy it? The reason I ask is because one of the guys at the range thinks he has lost accuracy or the ability to shoot well because the barrel was long and heavy which resulted in the rifle balancing too far forward when he was shooting. Does this make any sense? If it does, how do you avoid this when purchasing a new barrel? I am not quite sure how to figure out how long and heavy is too much. (short of a lot of boring math ...)
