[QUOTE="Loner, post: 560993, member: 24560"] Barrel length and twist rate really don't affect each other. Barrel length and powder capacity/bullet weight very much affect each other. A 24 inch barrel in a 6.5x284 will not deliver much in performance as far as fps. I think 28 to 30 inch is were your thoughts should be with it. The creedmoor , being based on a 22-250 case with a larger neck should do pretty well in a 24 inch. The extra inch or two in a 6.5x284 will let you set the barrel back one time without losing it's performance. [/QUOTE]
