Will I gain much by going to a 28" barrel on my next build. The new one I am just about to finish (223) is a 26" (1 in 12) I will be shooting mostly 50gr v-max for PDs

I know that this is an old thread but in my 12 twist 24 inch barrel I'm getting 3500 fps with 26 grains of N133 and the 50 grain vmax. I wouldn't think you would need to run anything longer than 24 to 26 inches.
Even with that speed I don't it would do very well on something tough. Barnes does have a 50 grain tripple shock I would be willing to try.No, that's plenty to splatter anything that breathes. Would be interesting to see what happens when you hit something though.
