[QUOTE="sundance1972, post: 1044857, member: 17911"] Depends on the barrel. Some are just faster than others from my experience. My last 7mm mag topped out at 2850 with a 160gr Accubond, one before that had no problem hitting 3000. Both were Rem 700's with factory 24's. Tough call as you could spend a lot of $$ for little to no gain in performance, or even go backwards. Even if you did gain 100fps, is it worth the cost to gain the few extra yards? If the rifle shoots good as is, I'd (just my personal opinion) probably leave it alone. The only reason I would swap out a barrel is to go to a faster twist for heavier/longer bullets. [/QUOTE]
