[QUOTE="Broz, post: 620158, member: 7503"] In my opinion the gains in a barrel past 30" would be getting to a point of diminishing returns. You will probably get a little more speed from a 34" but it would not be worth it to me for my kind of shooting. With a 30" Hart you should be able to send a 300 Berger at about 2825 to 2850 fps. That is right in tune with a 338 Edge with 30" tube too. And we all know there are plenty of those 338 Edges out there doing incredible things well past 1000 or 1500 yards. To me the Edge and the STD 338 LM are pretty much even. I simply like the Lapua brass and it lasts me 15+ firings. Jeff [/QUOTE]
