[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2351117, member: 36951"] I’ve been at this for 20 years. .040-.050 shoulder is a minimum. Thats a barrel OD of .1 over thread major diameter. The larger the shoulder the better, up to a point. You don't want a bull barrel to drop to 1/2” threads; that can cause belling of the muzzle and kill accuracy. If you end up with a thin barrel situation, your barrel can be threaded longer and a cone shaped piece can be added to build a shoulder. I had this done 8 years ago and have never had a problem on a 308 with a 5” Ultra. [/QUOTE]
