As the owner of a pile of rifles with fluted barrels. I always had read fluting helps cool the barrel and make it more accurate.
So earlier this week, I was reading on the top 50 bench rest shooters.
None of the top 50 shoot fluted barrels in completion.
The observation backed by data, fluted barrels warm up unevenly, which can behave badly for harmonics which opens groups.
Well, that burst my bubble.
Have you guys witnessed a difference?
As primarily a hunter, I'm concerned with cold barrel shooting more than warm/hot.
Thoughts?
