[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 721259, member: 33822"] If I had to do it over again I would definitely go with a 26" barrel. When I end up wearing my current barrel out I will likely go with something like a 26" fluted #3 contour. And dang you all ... now you got me running numbers for how the 250 elite hunter would perform in my gun. I've never shot a berger, but I assume that with my short action the long bullet would chew up a bit of extra case capacity? If I was at 2715 with the 250 accubond, would I be able to get 2650 with the berger? It definitely carries more energy than the 210 barnes I am currently shooting... If my 2650 fps guess is right, the berger load would carry almost 400 ft*lbs more energy at 700 yards! What do you think, should I try and work up a load with the 250 Berger? [/QUOTE]
