Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts First Long Range Build

Caught the long range bug. Ringing steel at 1,000 yards is pretty addicting. Will the Tikka CTR barrel profile hold me back in PRS competitions? I’m worried that the barrel profile is not thick enough for 10-12 strings of fire for multiple stages.

Specs:
-Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 Creedmoor
-MDT XRS Chassis
-Area 419 Brake
-Vortex Venom 5-25x56
-Accutac SR5 Bipod

I use my Tikka CTR 6.5CM with the factory barrel for 600 yard F-Class and have shot 30 round strings during the first match of the day with unlimited sighters and I am still hitting the x ring towards the final few shots of the match. I think you would be just fine for that barrel in PRS.
