[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1954488, member: 112579"] Like others say here personal preference. For a packing rifle, up and down mountains. I like a #4 or 5 contour on a 7 bore. I order mine with a longer than normal shank. Typically 3 inches and cut the small end to length that you want. Some like to go one contour heavier and flute but you really gain nothing but looks. Mass is mass. Another thing. Choose a barrel maker that stress relieves as their last operation. No worry about shots walking as the barrel heats up. [/QUOTE]
