it just looks cool , thats enough for me!!
Some tactical builders do it as a claim that its a way to keep any debris form binding the bolt up when cycling , the flutes act as a drill to carry any forgin matter out and away from the action that might cause the bolt to bind when it is stroked , o at least that the reason I was given once

Re: Bolt fluting
JDJones,
I can use different cutter sizes.
The first pix. of the Rem. is an 8 flute using a 3/16 ball end, plunging to a depth of .062. That end mill doesn't reach it's full width of .1875 until I pluge to a depth of .09375.
At .093 there is not a lot of metal left. I personally would not like to go deeper than .082.
I also teflon coated the flutes in the Rem., satin black for a nice contrast.(that adds extra cost)
The Barrel block Savage I used a 1/8 ball end also at .062 deep and the last pix with the bolt in the teflon action, is the same as the Rem.(minus the teflon flutes)

Re: Bolt fluting
Slopeshunter,
JDJones pretty much hit the nail on the head.It just looks COOL [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
In my complete acurizing package for the Rem 700's I ream the raceway and go with a PTG bolt .0015 under my reamer size which only leaves .00075 clearance all the way around the bolt, then I flute the bolt for less surface tension and to make a place for any debris to go. The helical flutes provide even wear on the receiver raceway versus straight flutes. It's kinda like all these fancy alluminum rims you see on cars...they don't really improve performance but they look really cool [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
