Since Oklahoma has finally passed the law that we can hunt with our suppressors I have to rethink my barrel options. Would a #4 contour @ 20" be stiff enough for a Tbac 30p-1 suppressor? If my calculations are correct it would be .730 at 20". I'm thinking that would provide enough shoulder but not sure on the stiffness of the heavy sporter contour + my suppressor. This rifle will be used for coyote and deer hunting, so it will only see few long shot strings for sighting in and whatnot.

Medium Palma! Maybe flute it to knock off another ounce or two.

As light asthat can is i think that would be plenty stiff.
WShat caliber are you running? I shoot a 16" Madium palma on my 308 with my home made can that about the same size as the TBAC but twice the weight (all 17-4 SS)and the oln accuray issue i have is the groups open slightly with the can OFF
SO it stay on!!

That will work just fine.
