Light barrel 4 a hunting rifle at 20" and a 30p-1?

[pyplynr]

I'm in the process of mapping out my hunting rifle build. Using a trued 700 action and probably Manners new T6 or their new hunting style that I've heard rumors of, either one with the lightweight fill. Barrel contour is where I'm stuck. It will be in 6.5x47Lapua and I want to have it around 20" and use my Tbac 30p-1. What is the lightest contour I should go with and still have good enough shoulder for the can to mate up with?

You might want to ask on the tbac forum. There is a lot of useful info there. Particularly for their suppressors.

What's your take on a 20" #4. If my calculations are correct it would be .730 at 20". Would the #4 be stiff enough to have a can on the end.
