[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1285703, member: 12193"] This is very useful, thanks for posting. It may come as a shock to Cody Adams that barrel length is still a topic that gets discussed frequently. I'm looking at a Model Seven for taking a youngster after his first deer. I like the .260 but it seems like they need longer barrels to get the 130-140 grain bullets moving. The 7mm-08 is likely what I'll go with. The .284 diameter gives it about 16% more bore volume than a .264, which means a 20" 7mm-08 barrel has the same volume as a 23" barrel in .260. If I stick with the faster powders and medium-weight bullets I think the 20" barrel will do pretty well. [/QUOTE]
