[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1157627, member: 48043"] My last 7stw pipe was a 24" 10" twist. I am much happier with my 27" 8" twist barrel. The 24" wasn't that slow; it would do 2900+ fps with a 175 and 3200+ fps with my normal 140 grain load... it also topped out a bit over 3400 fps with test loads with rl26, but I wouldn't run it there as I'm sure brass life would be a bit short. That said, even though the 24" barrel has a lot of life left in it, I'm pretty sure I'll never hang it on another receiver. Do yourself a favor and cut that barrel as long as you can, keep her to one of the heavier contours, and forget the brake. A 7stw with a finished weight at 9# or better doesn't need the brake unless you have a reason to be recoil abhorrent like a blown shoulder. [/QUOTE]
