I'm looking at a 28" SugiHara lightweight bar for my 056mag but I'd like to do some milling in the future. So I want to know if anyone uses a lightweight bar and if they're durable enough to mill with. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I have never owned a lightweight bar, but I don't think it would matter either way.  In most cases when milling a little weight can be a helpful thing, if you set up you log on an incline and are letting gravity help.
