[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1733281, member: 38048"] 300 wsm all the way throated long to fit your mag length. I shoot the 6.5 creed in my 1000 yard light gun and the 300wsm in my heavy. My 300wsm is the most accurate rifle I own. Even beats my 6ppcs at 100 yards. I hunt with a 6.5saum. If you want easy on barrel changes have a Smith chamber all your barrels and just screw them on. Get a cheap benchrest barrel vise and a rear entry action wrench and it doesn't get any simpler. Even slightly different torque values are going to show minimal headspace differences. From hand tight to fully tight is only .002 difference well within the headspace required range. Use of a torque wrench will have you very consistent. Only my glued in benchrest actions need the barrel taken off with it still in the stock. That method requires a large barrel channel. On your sporter contours you will have to remove the stock so putting it between your legs to remove the barrel won't work anyway. The barrel nut method works well too but I just don't like the look. It does make prefits simple. Good luck with your project. Shep [/QUOTE]
