[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1954569, member: 78569"] After owning a rem 700 in 7mm RM and building a gun with a #4 contour at 0.630" at the muzzle, I would opt for the rem #3 magnum for packing. I could get 4 quick shots off before the barrel warmed up. I have noticed that my premium barrels can shot more shots before POI is affected than factory barrels of the same contour. I also noticed that the 700 I owned didn't have a straight shank portion at the breech. That saves a bunch of weight. I was surprised since most books recommend a straight shank until the shoulder of the case. [/QUOTE]
