[QUOTE="NW Hunter, post: 1105959, member: 23024"] I set mine up as a mountain hunting rig. My gunsmith said my Bartlein barrel came in long enough to go to a 26" length. He asked me what I wanted to do. I told him no way would I want to get a 26" barrel under low hanging trees and brush. You will lose a bit of speed, but you will still hit a accuracy node speed-wise with a 190 or 215 grain Berger. I have shot the 190's to 1300 yards with great accuracy. The 215's can be shot to a mile and still group. This is all my opinion, but I have proven it to myself in the field. Most of my practice has been backed by a lot of thoughts shared on this forum.
