Sorry, I wasn't aware that you did not know how to use punctuation. Glad to hear you live in Sun City. Hope I have a chance to run into you some time.

The benchrest hall of fame records arn't delineated by city and state. LOL:o

I agree with you on the barrel fluting although it does reduce weight and facilitate barrel cooling. I just don't see it in being used in the benchrest community.

First, I am probably older than you so please don't refer to me as "young feller." On June 8th, 2013, Michael Stinnett shot a new world record, surpassing a group that held the record for 40 years. 5 shots were fired at a distance of 100 yards. This record was shot at the North Texas Shooters...

My point exactly. I added the verbage about Cryo and purported stress relieving in response to a comment questioning who said cryo was intended for stress relieving.

Never seen Tony Boyer, Les Bruno, Dwight Scott or Walt Berger shooting a fluted barrel. Why would you guess that is?

Yes, Cryo is for stress relieving. What did you think it is for? All firearms are produced with internal stresses. As the metal is bored, reamed and machined, mechanical stresses are created. As forgings and castings cool, the differing rates of temperature change introduce residual stresses...

Every metallurgist that I have spoken with all claim that flutting a barrel introduces stresses than can never be removed by cryo treating or any other treating. I guess the question is what do the new stresses do to accuracy.
