[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 876902, member: 12995"] Lots and lots of research of people's trial and errors...2" of barrel makes a big difference in velocity. I am building one myself, as soon as the money comes along for my barrel blank. I have been researching the caliber since I was in my mid-teens. I have always been fascinated by it, and always wanted one. That's my reasoning. It's hard to compromise between a pack gun and a LR rifle... 2" of barrel on the muzzle-end won't make that much difference in weight...Maybe ¼ lb. at the most. For shooting long range you will want the stiffest barrel possible...And a sporter or magnum sporter contour is not it...You will want a light-bull - Full Bull contour for LR shooting. Because the stiffer the barrel, the less harmonics are gonna affect your accuracy. [/QUOTE]
