[QUOTE="handirifle, post: 628951, member: 44079"] Winmag Thanks, I was wondering how much of a gain. IF I got 200 more fps, that would be right in the middle of 300WM factory speeds. Plus it does seem all the powder companies publish their speeds with 24" test barrels. I know for deer, the plain 22" '06 ought to take them well past 500yds, but it would really be a bummer to KNOW my 500yd POI but not feel like the rifle/caliber was up to it. I suppose the age old answer would be to get closer. If I went with a longer tube, I would want some fluting, unless it was what I call the magnum contour which is about .650 at the muzzle. Not sure what taper number that is. [/QUOTE]
