When the fun has run its course with mine, that's what I plan to do.

This one is a Broughton 1in10 with a 3.1 contour - no freebore.
I've only shot 100gr TSX in it with speeds around 3650. (R22)
With the Bansner stock, it balances just ahead of the action screw.

With a #3/flutes in an Edge, I'd say the balance should be pretty close to this one. Cut to 25" if you're worried about it.
