Basically is says that Shilen will not flute a barrel because it ruins the accuracy. Also quoted is research from Accuracy International that quantifies amount of movement from POA caused by fluting and barrel heat.

Interesting. I usually shoot 3 shot groups not 5. So that should help. Also being at the range and at the mercy of other shooters having to go down range I usually only get to shoot one group at a time, I go slow. Maybe I should take temp readings to see where my barrel is at on that given day. 10fcp-sr, it is fluted.
