Has anyone ever tried bartlein's # 0 featherweight #2 contour?

Looking for feedback. It is not a #2 contour, they call it a featherweight #2.

I have a bartlein #2 countour in 6.5mm. Not a lightweight barrel in this bore. I would suggest something else if you're looking for less weight.

Thanks. I should clarify, it is a Bartlein 0 contour which they call a "featherweight #2".

Thanks

Bringing this back up, anyone use the Featherweight #2? I'm planning a new build and would like info on this barrel.

To quote Frank from Bartlein on another forum:

Q: Frank, is there a typo on your contour chart or is the neck diameter of your #0 contour really bigger than your #1, #2, #2B, and #3 contours?

A: No not a typo. The #0 contour is kinda like a Win. Fwt contour but doesn't have the double taper of the Win. Fwt. contour. So the neck area is bigger. From the radius it just straight tapers down. Again though not recommended for magnum calibers.
