[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1509084, member: 94491"] I had a Remington 24" 7 rem mag, sold it for an x-bolt 26" in same caliber I now get 75 fps faster on factory ammo with the browning 26" barrel than I did with the 24" rem--but the big difference to me was that the browning does not copper foul near as easily as the rem did so most of the increase is probably in that the browning has a lapped barrel (smoother bore) than the rem did [I]now to compare chambers both the rem and the browning have the same shoulder datum to base measurement so I bump shoulders to the same dimensions for both rifles-- the browning has a slightly shorter freebore/jump to lands than the rem did, but only by .004" --but the browning has a much longer box mag so on the rem I couldn't get some bullets anywhere near the lands at mag length, but with the browning I can load jamming lands if I like and still have room in the mag (mush longer mag length in the browning) --not sure about savage mag lengths though [/I] [/QUOTE]
