338 RUM barrel contour?

[Apex Custom Rifles]

I just finished up a couple other builds and have been thinking about the next one. I have 100% decided on the .338 RUM. I would like to hear what is a common barrrel contour for this caliber. I will be building this for big game/LR varmints/target shooting. Weight is not a huge deal, but would like to keep it under 13-14 lbs.

I have been looking and maybe something like a heavy varmint, or keep the muzzle diameter in the .9" range or so. IDK.

What have you guys been using on your .338's?

my edge is turned down to .750 and with a nightforce ready to hunt (everything on it) comes in at 10# 4oz and recoil is mild. I wanted mine to be for elk so wanted to go lighter.
