Normaly I call B.S. on 85% of fluting claims. In your case flutting makes perfect sense. That said a thinner barrel contour makes sense as well. Combining both is often a good.
What is the norm in your sport in the caliper you want to build? In weight restricted classes and in most sports their is a lot of monkey see monkey do because other's that have come before you have had to solve that same problem. When it comes to making weight reinventing the wheel is often not worth the squeeze!
In Silhouette if you order a High Power Silhouette barrel from Douglas it only comes in one length and one profile to gurantee you make weight.
I have SS Bergara 338 barrel that is 32" long and 1.45 straight cylinder it is a beast of a blank!
