[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 551747, member: 5302"] Actually, it's very strong. The accuracy limit of long range benchrest rifles and Palma rifles are still at best, all shots inside about 7 inches at 1000 yards when test fired the same way in excellent conditions. Sure, records are the smallest groups, but all the others are much larger. If it was, then Palma rifles would not shoot as accurate as long range benchrest rigs. Everyone in the long range shooting sports doesn't know/belive that, so it's not "completely" known. All barrels hold their "tune" regarding stiffness for all shots fired. The only way they'll change is to remove or add metal to them. You might take a look at: [url=http://www.varmintal.com/aflut.htm]Varmint Al's Fluted Barrel Stiffness Analysis[/url] Lots of interesting stuff on fluting. Especially the conclusions at the end.
