What profile would you use for a big .33, Steve? For my 338rum I used what closely resembles an MTU. I found a Krieger barrel that is 1.35 tapering to about .95, at 31". (plus brake)  But its mostly a ELR target/steel/fun gun. I did bring it out elk hunting at dusk overlooking a BIG hayfield, but nothing walked out into the open. ![[Linked Image]](http://i64.tinypic.com/5cy6p1.jpg) t looks like my .264 WM... ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/Picture034.jpg)

Thanks. I've no experience with heavier than HV/Sendero. Obviously it then dictates stock options. Prefer to stay with Sendero profile UNLESS there's a solid reason to do otherwise. Just FYI - Be careful with the "HV" talk. A HV contour is a very heavy straight taper. Keep it "Sendero/Rem Varmint". My favorite "heavy" rifles use the Rem Varmint contour. I have a few LV (straight taper) rifles and they are HEAVY! The HV would be even heftier!

Yep. A heavy varmint will typically be about 2 1/2 pounds heavier than a Remington varmint.

Howdy 257! Thanks. I was showing my inexperience with these heavier barrel profiles there!  I actually just got the barrel in the mail a couple days ago from Pac-Nor! That was fast. I went with the Sendero profile, fluted to finish at 28", but I had them leave a couple extra inches up at the muzzle in case I changed my mind and decided to go 30". Next time I'm out there in the shop maybe I'll snap a pic.

I got a Pac-Nor fast twist 243" Sendero a few months ago. I was impressed with the quality. I hadn't received anything from pac-nor in maybe 10 years. Their polygonal rifling looks good. Will send it off soon to build a 18" threaded 6x47 Lapua.

Man, the 7mm barrel I bought from them last year, also a Sendero profile, is an absolute laser. Unbelievably accurate.
I also like keeping my money local when possible.

just remember when dropping cash on barrel burners, cut rifling lasts longer than button and thats all PN is... button, last I recall....but since you do your own, you are not out the labor to rebarrel at least.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Hey Jeff! I've heard that as well. However- is a .338 EDGE considered a "barrel burner"? Or are you talking about my 7 WSM?
