[QUOTE="Tarheelpwr, post: 987931, member: 54760"] Just some input to clarify some things for you. I think the 24-26" length was in reference to tactical applications with the win mag. 22" was stated to get pretty much complete burn and be adequate for a tactical (LE sniper) application. Same article also recommend 24" if you plan on an heavy bullets and slow powder. Much different requirements that LR hunting where you want to squeak every last bit out. As to bullets, I would def recommend the 230 Berger over the 215, esp for 1000 or less. Seems counterintuitive but the lower muzzle velocity is a good thing. Broz did a GREAT write up on the Berger bullets and at higher velocity, you get REALY big exit holes, almost too big. My personal take is that I'd rather have less velocity in the 230. Everything else is about equal. the 200FPS speed advantage of the 215 gives less drop and the energy is about the same at a given distance. BUT, I'd rather have the slower speed to control exits. my 0.02 [/QUOTE]
