[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 402317, member: 2736"] My recommendation would be pretty much as you have described= a stainless barrel 30 to 34" long, In a #7 or 8 taper or contour (Around .900 dia at the muzzle) twist should be a 1 in 10'' with the velocity you will get and a 3 to 4'' shank for strength where it is needed. I like the 8 groove barrels for heavy bullets (Easier on the jackets when engraving). Put a good 11 degree crown on it and the break would be optional but if you shoot a silencer thread it for both and Enjoy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
