I'm in the process of gathering parts for a 7mm rem mag build and wanted to see if anyone had some input on barrel contours.
I have a stock that can fit up to a sendero lite barrel, but I originally wanted to just go with a #3 steel barrel.
From an accuracy potential standpoint, is there going to be a difference between a sendero lite contour and a #3 steel brux barrel?
I have heard with magnums and the lite contour it can be a little finicky. According to specs, they're about identical in weight with a 24" finished length - both listed at 3 lbs.
Planning on shooting 143gr hammer hunters, 160 accubonds and 180gr berger hybrids.
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the replies - with my stock choice, it's steel #3,4 or Sendero lite

I don't see where they advertise the blank contour under the carbon. The stated #4 is the finished contour after the carbon is laid on. Matches their #4 steel barrel contour. Same/same for their #13 CFW which is a sendero/varmint contour.Where do you find the contours for the Bartlein's? I can't find it on the website.
Blank contour underneath the carbon is what I am interested in. I see they have ready made that state No4, but not sure if that is the steel under the carbon or the contour after the carbon is laid on.
