[QUOTE="JIsbell40, post: 1316697, member: 99153"] The amount of weight your are going to lose is a non factor. I would never under any circumstances intentionally shave meat off of a premier barrel. The rumor that is makes the barrel stiffer is only true when you compare it to a diameter that would be equal to the flutes. In essence a #3 fluted is stuffer than a #2. But it is much more likely to flex than a #3 that's not been tampered with. Have you considered the heat that's going to generated in a #3 from a 300 wm? Personally I've never gone below a #5 Douglas, or a 3B Bartlein. Just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
