[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1773843, member: 27307"] I've been running the Weatherby in a 26" barrel for hunting and don't find any reason whatsoever for longer barrels. My reamer is made to my specifications for seating this bullet out simply because of the extraordinary length of the bullet. Seated over Retumbo, I'm running around the 3250 mark which is sufficient for 1,000 yards if you want or need that distance. You can get some more velocity by switching to VVN-570. I chambered a 1:7.5" twist barrel just in case although you can get away with the 1:8" at the higher velocities but you give up a little in the BC department. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
