Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 338-06 Barrel Contour & Twist

I went with a #4 contour and twisted 1-10" and it shoots real well even with the 250 grainers..........

I purchased a Brux #5 countour in a 10 twist, and had it fluted to finish at 24 inches. These are excellent cut rifled barrels at a VERY modest price. This is also going to go on a Win 70 classic receiver.

I know Krieger has a minimum contour of 5 for the .338 caliber in stainless. Brux said they would go to a #4, I just decided to go #5 and flute to take off about a 1/2 pound of weight.
