[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 815768, member: 68226"] I have always been a advocate of longer barrels to a point. Barrel whip is very much a factor.lightbulb.. If a Standard Mag (7mm-300mag) Barrel is around the 28 in range and the SUPER MAGS( ultra, 30-378 etc) mags are around 31 inches in length, One would be able to load up to max loads and pressures and back off 2 grains to their SWEET SPOT. The sweet spot should be above the velocity and power of a standard 22 to 24 in barrel and far superior killing potential and accuracy. I might add that I have done several long barrel mag jobs on Weatherby cartridges with both carbon wrapped technologies out today. Both gave me more barrel whip and lesser accuracy than a fluted standard barrel. [/QUOTE]
