Gunsmithing Weatherby #3 contour equivalent

[LR338nut]

I want to get an equivalent contour to the Weatherby #3 (Accumark) from Benchmark barrels Benchmark Barrels - Contours

I couldn't find the dimensions of the Weatherby so if anyone can help me that would be great.
Thank you.

The closest contour is their #4.

A Weatherby Accumark barrel is a Weatherby #3. It's .705" at the muzzle. The "G" diameter should be .900". The shank is 1.250" Benchmark #5 is closest. A Krieger #5 is closer.

Call benchmark and ask them if they can duplicate the weatherby contour for you. Most barrel makers have CNC lathes and have the dimensions of most factory barrels stored, they just call up the program and the lathe does the rest. If you're trying to match a certain contour it's better to have it done exactly than to try and get "close enough" by using one of their standard profiles.
