[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 89119, member: 313"] Within reason, there is always a small gain in velocity when barrel length is increased. However, there is a "practical" limit to most things in life. For bullets in the 150-160gr class I see no real advantage to having a barrel longer than 26". Even a 26" barrel on a long action can be cumbersome when moving around in the field. If you want to shoot 180gr VLD's at extreme range than the added barrel length would be a "practical" consideration. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
