[QUOTE="longbowelk, post: 1772117, member: 41272"] Ok, it's been a while since I was on here. I have a 7mm08, Savage 11 with 22" barrel. I was looking into some .280 Rem factory rifles, not the cheapo bottom of the barrel ones. I notice most .280's have the 22" barrel. I see a lot of 7mm08's with 24" barrels. It looks to me that the .280 would be better suited with a 24" barrel. The 7mm08 could go either way. From what I have read here that 2 inch extra on the 7mm08 would only generate about 40 to 50 fps. Looks to me the .280 needs that extra 2" to get the most performance from the load. I would just like to know people more knowledgeable their thoughts on this. [/QUOTE]
