[QUOTE="Rkelley, post: 1159297, member: 92658"] I have one with a 24" and am currently looking to upgrade. Think im going to finish it out at 28 + the break but not sure yet. If I remember right I was pushing 3200 fps with 81gn h 1000 behind 160 gn nosler partition. My stepdad has a 26, not sure where his speed was but he didnt show the over pressure signs mine did with the same load. I have backed my load off to 78gn. but haven't chronographed it. I have no idea why a shorter barrel would cause over pressure but I have read it and it seems to be the case. Both guns were converted by the same smith at the same time. Im not sure this helps any, but if I had it to do over I think I would have left it a 7 mag because the stw is just not that much better in the 24" length. [/QUOTE]
