[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 282274, member: 2736"] I have had 7/08s with 18.5" ,20", 22",23" and 24'' barrels and the 20'' to 22" is optimum for velocity. the 23" and the 24"did not increase 20 ft/sec with the same loads. the 18.5" barrel slowed down almost 100 ft/sec from the 20". This was using H-414 behind a 120gr blistic tip. As far as accuracy. shorter is most often more accurate. because it is a little stiffer. Go with the 22" barrel !!!!! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
