[QUOTE="joeycoates, post: 897083, member: 72330"] I am about to order a barrel for what is now a 7RM and is going to become a 7stw. As I am re-barreling I can go with whatever length I want within reason. So the question is what barrel length would you go with if given the choice? If 26" will get the most out of slower burning powders like H-1000 or Retumbo then great, but If I would be better served with a 28" or even 30" then that would be fine as well. I am planning on going with a 1:8 or 1:8.5 twist 5c Benchmark barrel to take advantage of the heavier 7 mm rounds as they become available. I really do not plan on shooting anything under 168gr anyway. Thanks for any suggestions! gun) [/QUOTE]
