Getting a 300. Win mag customed and will be using the 210 vld's for long range hunting. Would the 28" or 26" be better, I would like to keep wait down but if the 28" is that much better you can't argue with that
Matt somehow you ended up posting this in the Classified section vs one of the regular forums so you might want to try again in the LRH Hunting or gunsmithing sections.Getting a 300.

As far as keeping the weight down, 2" of barrel won't add 8oz of weight, probably closer to 1oz per in or less.Getting a 300. Win mag customed and will be using the 210 vld's for long range hunting.

Good point. Muzzle flash blindness is another. The more completely the powder has burnt prior to the exit of the round, the less muzzle flash is an issue. In the low light conditions we often encounter hunting it is a valid consideration.There is more to barrel length than velocity and weight and even stiffness.
With large slower powder burning cartridges, with boat tail bullets, there is MUZZLE PRESSURE to consider.
The lower the muzzle pressures, the cleaner the bullet release.
