I agree with you on this, but really have nothing to back it up other than having looked at a lot of rifles.
I don't recall ever seeing a magnum rifle with a super light barrel contour.
What about the Mod 70 Featherweights in .270 and .300 Weatherby?
These were "Featherweights" in the stock only. Barrels were standard magnum contour.
"after the bullet leaves the barrel it doesn't care what headstamp was on the case" "The 221 Fireball is what the Hornet could have been had it stayed in school"
