Lot of information needed but will try.
How much power do you want/need?
Hunted a lot with a 358 Winchester and a 35 Whelan and AI version. For many either may be too much or not enough power.
Recoil: The more power going out the end of the barrel the more the recoil. I use to hunt exclusively with 35 calibers except when Nosler came out with the 180,200.225 grain Accubonds in the 338 caliber I switched when they said the smallest Accubond in the 35 would be the 225 grain.
For turn around time on barrels Benchmark!
There are many good barrel makers out there. The wait time for quality I had to choose Benchmark.
Because of wait time I can't advise because in this class of custom barrel makers there are several and I am not sure I could say if Shilon,Brux,Douglass Keiger are better than anyone else's.
