Has anyone used a Shilen #5 contour for a 338 edge?

Length plays a big part into how a barrel contour works. They longer the less taper you want. The bigger the caliber the more you need.

But if your 26" you should be fine.

I'm at 28"

OK, That would make me a little uncomfortable. I am sure it will be just fine. Just a personal preference.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Sorry about that. What I mean is. I would prefer to not have such a light barrel that long in that caliber. It would make me a little uncomfortable.

But I am sure it will be fine. Just would have me a little nervous.

Does that make more sense? I see where you were wondering what I meant.
