[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1169361, member: 55230"] 1:10 is gtg, that twist will take you well into the heavies. Any contour is acceptable, it just depends on factors such as weight goals, rate of fire, and velocity goals etc... Any reason for fluting other than looks? B/c the smaller the barrel the less material to be removed = less of a weight factor and more of a cosmetic factor. I would take a look at bartlein contours such as #3 or #3b. Rifling will require more expertise than I have, there are all kinds of claims vs reality. I have a 5R, but krieger and criterion 30cals are typically 4groove if there is any relevance to that. IMO pick any rifling on any premium barrel and you'll be happy. If you're planning to put on a brake find out what the minimum muzzle requirements are. You don't want to find out the hard way.
