[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 2328308, member: 74670"] The reason I went with the 25" barrel is I thought it was a good compromise for a lighter gun that might be used on a Big Horn Sheep or Mountain Goat hunt. ( I have 19 & 16 points respectively in CO) but still give decent velocity. My 28 Nosler rifles have 26" barrels with 2 inch Muzzle brakes. The 6.5 WSM also has a muzzle brake but it is only about 1.5" I thought I would shorten the barrel a little with this rifle thinking it would use up all the powder in the 25" with the smaller case. This seems to work with the 7MM WSM and RL26 which is the powder I planned on using with this rifle. [/QUOTE]
