[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 184392, member: 8843"] The 24" barrel will work fine the 26" just lets you squeez that last extra bit of velocity out of the case , I have an uncle that shoots a Holland built 280 Ackley with a 22" barrel and loves it , he shoot 150gr Ballistic Tips at everything under 600 lbs out to 800yds. The gun started out with a 28" barrel (Rem varmint conture) and it was heave so he has 4" wacked off to drop some weight and only lost about 100fps with his load of R-22 the next year he wacked off another 2" (1" off chamber and 1" off muzzle) and only lost 40 fps. That little extra velocity will not kille your energy at long range so its not that big of a deal , especiay since the bullets will likely shoot better at a bit lower speed [/QUOTE]
