[QUOTE="budlight, post: 89185, member: 2939"] I have a 28 inch stw. My gun was built with longer heavy bullets in mind. I always recommend taking a look at ballistic charts. The lighter super speed bullets drop off speed so fast that usually by 300 or so yards the higher BC bullets are passing them. I usually shoot 175 SPB's The speed difference from 26 or 27 to 28 is marginal. What it does give a gun is forward weight bias and they are more pleasant to shoot when they don't have a brake like mine. Another real gain to longer barrels is that you can attain higher speeds with less powder and stress on the cases...... I have a 28 and 29 inch gun and my next will probably be a 30 [/QUOTE]
