[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 131321, member: 2740"] Dave Wilson, No need to appologize. I didn't think you were being a smartass, I just wanted to clarify what I based my velocity estimate on. That's the trouble with not talking face to face, easy to misinterpret tone. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I tend to be rather matter of fact when I type. This barrel also will have a thin land design that Rock Creek developed at the request of Kirby Allen. This was recommended by both parties to me for this barrel. I assume that this thin land design places less stress on the bullet which as you said will have a long bearing surface. JDJones, I don't have one of these babies in my sweaty hands yet, but I do know that Richard has a new 30 cal 300 gr ULD RBBT that is 1.8" long. The 290 shouldn't be far behind on length. If you talk to him, he can probably make just about what ever you want (within the laws of physics!). He offers heavier jackets and bonded bullets also. [/QUOTE]
