[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2082999, member: 106189"] The bullet will be spun to the engraved rifling rate no matter the length of your barrel. Focus on the particular bullets you want to shoot and the rate they require to be stabilized, not the barrel length. You mention the weight class of bullets you prefer, but not the particular bullets. Something around 1:9 is likely good for Berger and Hornady bullets in the 162-175 weight range. You’d need faster for some heavier than that range. Hammer Hunters or Absolute Hammers in the 155gr class would need 1:8.5. [/QUOTE]
