What barrel contour?

im having a heck of a time trying to pick a barrel contour! Looking for a happy medium between a
Informal bench/hunting rig I know a lot will say get a rifle for each but I don't have that option
as this will be my first and more than likely only custom build I'll ever do. My bench shooting will consist of 3 to 5 round groups with cool down periods between ranges from 100 to 600 yards with the occasional 1000 yard distance. My hunting will be anything from big game,predator and varmints. I know the rem varmint contour is the ideal contour but would like to go a tad lighter. Been looking at a brux #5 fluted would this barrel contour do what I want? Or what suggestions could you guys make?
Thanks
 
Brux #5 is what I've got on mine. It shoots extremely well, and surprisingly holds a group for 10 rounds.

I'd skip the fluting.

May I suggest a 6.5x47 Lapua??
 
In fact I thought enough of that build I'll have another Brux 5 in 22x47 Lapua pretty soon.

Worth doing twice...
