[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1264820, member: 13632"] The #4 steel barrel will be lighter than the Proof barrel by a few ounces. If you building a Lapua make sure to get the large 1.250 shank and leave as much as you can, it'll be heavier but I've had a few of them in with nearly no shank and 1.2 and the Lapua at higher pressure are swelling the chamber so they are running slow to keep extraction good. When really trying to go light it becomes a very fine balance that you can really screw yourself with, I know of one company working on a Ti Lapua sized action that will let us put some barrel on and still come in at a nice weight.
