Which would fill the barrel channel fairly good and not be nose heavy?

I only have personal experience with a Brux 3 fluted and a Bartlein light Palma.

Most interested in he 2 and 3 b


The ones that end with b are obviously Bartlein contours and since they've got that goofy numbering system that's different than everyone else you have to know what they represent.

Their #2b is about like everyone else's #3
Their #3 is about like everyone else's #4
Their #3b is about like everyone else's #5

10 lbs with a short action and a 22" fluted barrel is a lot to work with. I'd think you could stay under that with a sendero contour, especially considering you want to use a stock inletted for that already. Getting smaller from that the next option would be the #3b.
