[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1336806, member: 97050"] barrel length is all about how much powder is allowed to burn. which effects velocities. Most people go with a 26in barrel on a 300 win mag, because that is all that is required for maximum powder burn, and getting optimal velocities. contour i think is more subjective, but i will say this. heavier barrels, like the m40 profile, will not whip as bad. they can also disperse heat a lot better, and you will want that with a magnum cartridge at the range. Sucks to carry around? sure. I had to do, everyone else can to. now something thin and pencil like...you'll usually notice all over the target...good enough for a max pbr but maybe not so much for a respectable distance shot.
