[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1182030, member: 13632"] Your convinced that your fighting barrel contour yet your throwing charges, you need to be more open minded and critical of a lot of factors before contour on a custom barrel needs to be evaluated. It also helps to get away from the hundred yard line for development, fine tune your loads at the ranges you want to shoot, I shoot a whole lot better at 300 than I do at 100 and paralax is less of an issue as well. Thee hardest custom barrel I had to tune was a sendero contour, some of the easiest have been #3 and #4's and a freak of a 338 barrel that will post .8's at 300. My buddy who is a benchrest builder just ran a ladder on a 28 Nosler with a #4 that was 1.5 of vertical at 300 for a five grain ladder. It's way more the nut on the trigger or loading press than the contour!! [/QUOTE]
