[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 679623, member: 5302"] If a good barrel, fluted or not, is fit to a properly prepped receiver, it won't change point of impact as it heats up; even firing one shot every 20 seconds. And the improved cooling a fluted barrel has over a solid one of the same weight per inch is not very much anyway. Most wild shots seen from well built and fit barrels that are very hot are caused by the round resting in the chamber too long; it's hotter powder shoots bullets out faster and they strike higher. In my experience after 30 seconds in a hot barrel, 30 caliber magnums put the next shot about 1/2 MOA high at 1000. [/QUOTE]
