What's the advantage of Ruger Mark III's fluted barrel? - Page 3

After firing rounds from it, I think "heat dissipation" could be eliminated from fluted barrel of Ruger .22 -- the barrel can at most be described as warm after firing 200 rounds, not hot at all, there was simply no heat to dissipate. But deep cut on barrel could still reduce bull barrel's weight.

A friend of mine bought one of those guns last year, and he's using it for Steel Challenge competitions with success.
