Im buildingva .358win on a 700sa. Ive been in touch with two barrel makers to barrel my action. One says a rem #2 the other says a rem #5. Im a little stumped on why the difference in thought? One says finished barrel will be about 2lbs the other "just shy of 3 lbs". Btw, its 19.5" and straight fluted. Any help would be great!

VERY poor chambering and you are in well over your head,upon many levels.

What is your target finish weight? Stillhunting or stand?
For a walking around thumper type whitetail rifle, a #5 will be heavy.

In a 358 a douglas #2 is going to be pretty lightweight, a #3 is will be normal sporter like and a #4 will be a little heavy/weight forward. This based upon a 20" unfluted barrels. My guess is a fluted #5 is going to be a little heavy although would work great as a tree stand or blind gun.
For a general walking about gun I would do #3 or fluted #4. As a rule I would prefer to have a small cylinder say 1" to keep the weight down and forward.
As Stick says every maker seems to have his own lists of contours, my numbers would work for a Douglas contour, you can look up the profiles and compare to the barrel manufacturer of your choice.

I was hoping for around 7 1/2lbs scoped. These were called 'remington' contours by both makers.

The rest of you guys, thanks, as always.

Right-the 5's are a bit larger...:) ContoursPersonally, would forego the flutes, but each to his own. Have gone with shorter shanks to shave a bit of weight.

Helps to pick a good chambering,with the best bullets available and simply build for balance/handling.
She's in wayyyyyyyyy over her pointy head.

with a 358 winchester being the target chambering I doubt he is worried about the best bullets and trajectory and to each their own most people do own more than one gun in one chambering......
I have always liked douglas tapers for the barrels i own so I use mostly hart barrels and a #2 non fluted or a number #3 fluted would be my choice

you are right stupid isnt very smart ....but if all he shoots is 150 yards a 358 isnt stupid, it would be stupid if he was looking to shoot much farther though

The hart barrel jack reccomended rem #5. Maybe he was mistaken. He had been busy that day? He figures finished weight around 2lbs with a muzzle dia or .700"

I'm fairly certain,that a 7-08 will cover the 150yd line,just as handily as the 15" line.

the #5 hart finishes .700 at 26 inches not sure where it would be at 19.5 but it would be to heavy for my taste
#2 lightweight #3 middleweight Remington magnum taper for my heavy barrel
these would be my choices
