[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2698626, member: 121641"] The best thing you can do is call some barrel manufacturers and talk with a knowledgeable engineer about, harmonics, barrel whip, diameter, weight, and all that good stuff. I can tell you every high quality barrel maker has a length limit for light contours, and it's because long and skinny will be more prone to inconsistencies. Same with hanging an extra pound on the end, some skinny barrels will shoot but the longer and skinnier you go the more likely it's going to be that it won't. I don't subscribe to the huge heavy barrel stuff especially with short barrels, I run an 18" factory Tikka contour flared to .730 at the muzzle and have shot some amazing groups out to 1000 [/QUOTE]
