[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1774716, member: 38048"] I've had a few 24 inch barrels keep up with the 26s. I look mainly for the balance of the rifle, looks and obstruction come second. A 24 inch in a classic looking stock handles well and a 28 in an a3 look fantastic. With these fast twist barrels I don't know how much speed is there per the different lengths. I pretty much look for 3650 with a 100gn and 3450 with a 110. It's funny how someone said they would go longer to help get speeds everybody else gets. I'm in his boat for sure. I must get all the slowest barrels made because people here get 100 to 150 more than me with same loads all the time. But good news is a slow 257 wby mag is still fast as crap. My current crop of 3 have a 26 in Lawton barrel and a 24 inch Jarrett. And I built an encore from a prohunter 2506 and cut it to 24. That's my little blind gun. The Lawton shoots quarter moa easy. I kind of backshelved the 257s in favor of a 6.5/257wby and a 6.5saum took place of my 25wsm. Hopefully this 131 will remedy this. Shep [/QUOTE]
