[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 890882, member: 2693"] I've HEARD that in general terms, it is BETTER to flute a cut-rifled barrel than a button rifled barrel due to the machining process. Cut barrels continue to do just that, cut away. Button barrels displace metal and get stress relieved. Hart fluted my barrel during their process but I have not shot it yet. It's a 338 Edge. The only other fluted barrel I have is a PacNor on my 30.06. John Noveske did that one AFTER my rifle was built by him. He called me up one day about a year or 2 after I had been hunting with it and told me he got a fluting tool and wanted to offer fluting my bolt and barrel at no charge so I took him up on the offer. He spiral fluted my bolt and reblued it and straight fluted my PacNor barel. He assured me I would not be able to tell any difference in my existing loads. He was correct for what it is worth.
