Need help deciding which 30-06 barrel profile to get

[LoneWolf]

The Marine Corps uses a 10twist in a 20" barrel on the M40 with a Suppressor currently and we use the 175gr SMK for our match ammo. I would expect the 30-06 to continue to follow suit as heavier bullets usually need a faster twist, but there are member that have a better understanding of this than myself for sure.

Magnum Contour is a heavy Sporter Contour. I'm not fully familiar with the number system though. I don't know if it's in your price range, but fluting may be the best option for you to have the best of both worlds.

Yep, fluting was already part of the plan. I figure if I can keep the barrel under $500 then I'll be happy.

Also, I realize I made an error in my previous statement, it should have read: "Since the barrel is 22" and not 26" the bullet should be be 100-175 f/s slower leaving the muzzle. If 1:10 would be ideal for this bullet weight range from a 26" barrel would I now choose the 1:9 from a 22" barrel?"
