[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2025948, member: 68758"] What "performance" are you referring to for optimization? Cold bore, second- even third shot accuracy is not a function of barrel contour. A skinny stick can shoot just as accurately as a telephone pole for the first few shots. For a hunting rifle, muzzle diameter should be considered as mentioned above if a muzzle device is going to be used. Minimize length/weight to the extent you can still achieve the MV desired.
