Need help picking 338 Lapua barrel length and twist....

[WEATHERBY460]

I just got the Savage 112, and it only has an actual barrel length of 24". I would like to have Bartlein make a barrel for me, but need help on barrel length and twist. I prefer to shoot 250-285 bullets. I'm thinking 28" barrel. Any thoughts?

Thanks

28" 5R Gain twist 9.5 - 9.25 and you will be Rocking!
I'm looking too..

I went with a 30"/5R/1-9" for the 300 grain Berger EOL.

 

[WEATHERBY460]

What about for 250-285 grainers?

 

[C.O. Shooter]

1-9" or 1-10" will suite your needs.

Did a 34" 9 twist off that action. It's long but with that comes speed.

9 twist allows long mono Bullets.

This is not what my 112 measures.
It's for sure 26" without the brake.
Mine is a couple years old though, they may have changed it.

If you are.going to do that you might as well make it a Yogi.

I think it depends my long range hunter has a 26" without brake and my Ba stealth has a 24"
