[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 1467588, member: 15527"] The 243 W-E is a round I developed back in 1994 and is basically a rimmed version of the 6mm Ackley Improved... Yes, I blue-printed my own action... I gathered up all the metal chips after fluting and as best as I can remember, I believe it was something like 18 oz.... I fluted this barrel on my lathe and only for one reason - because everyone said that it could not be done. Would I flute this way again? Nope! I have a big milling machine set up for barrel fluting and that's all it does... I have never done any "tests" to see if or how much stiffer fluting makes a barrel but, I do know for a fact that a barrel with a "straight taper" is much more stiffer and less prone to flexing over that of a "step tapered" barrel.... D&T addendum - I almost forgot. By going to a rimmed cartridge, I had to modify the bolt face as well as add a Sako style extractor. Here is a picture of that.... [attach=full]87342[/attach] [/QUOTE]
