[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1044865, member: 70559"] I had a custom .224 rifle made and already had a Savage using the same cartridge. The custom had a 30" Pac-Nor while the Savage used a 26" factory barrel. From the same box of ammo the 30" barrel averaged 4,300 feet per second. The Savage trailed at 4,005 feet per second. That is a whopping 295 feet per second for only 4". Maybe the 30" was a fast barrel and the 26" was a slow barrel. I don't know. If you have worn out the barrel I would definitely use a 26" barrel to get the all there is between those two. [/QUOTE]
