[QUOTE="str8shoot, post: 435478, member: 26034"] For long range, going from a 22" to a 26" barrel is going to be worth it. With a slow powder you'll gain quite a bit of velocity with less muzzle blast and less felt recoil. The added weight will also help with stability. To go the next step to a .280AI will get maybe another 100fps. This will get you close to 7mag with 24" bbl velocities. If you are hand loading for this, I say go for it. However, if the current barrel shoots, it may reach out to your desired distance with accuracy, and why spend the money? [/QUOTE]
