I've been using blanks that finish at 29.5" or 30" on my last 6 barrels, they are 1.250" at the chamber and finish at .950" at the muzzle.
No fluting, profiled before chambering and the chambers are rough reamed with a straight tapered reamer before the chamber reamers are used, rougher and finisher. I want my reamers cutting minimum material so they don't dull too quickly.
All this helps with less stress in your barrel.

Cheers.
 
Can't beat a proof research , I currently have two 30 noslers both proof that shoot incredible
Ones a sendero and one is a sendero lite.
I'd go with sendero lite if I was building another.
Ones a rem 700 with a manners and the Sendero proof with a nightforce nxs 3-15 is just under 10.5 lbs and the 2nd 30 nosler is a stiller action , McMillan and sendero lite with nightforce nxs 3-15 and it weighs 9.5 lbs. both rifles are 26" bbl
