[QUOTE="kc0pph, post: 986153, member: 35934"] Well Its getting time that i order a new barrel for the 300 RUM I just traded for. After doing some searching on the forums I am not sure about what to order. First of all: Action is a Stevens Stock is TBD (any suggestions? Looking for something "normal" and not McMillan style (Not a big fan of the feel)) Brake will be from JE Custom Trigger is TBD Bullets will be the heaviest I can get (230 Berger, 220 Partition, 220/240 SMK) I have read a lot about having a shorter barrel is better and some research i have read is stating 22-24" is the correct length for best velocity (i am skeptical about this research). With my current understanding 28-30" is what everyone here likes and suggests. I would like to have the rifle be as light as possible but there is no set limit i am designing against. For Length I am considering 28" unless there is a good reason to do something else. Twist rate I hear 10 twist is a good all around twist but am wondering if a 9 would be better suited for the big bullets. As for the rifling I have no clue as to what to pick. Contour: looking for the lightest that i can get away with without suffering from being too light. As for a mfg i was looking at pac-nor but dont care much as to who i order it from as long as it is the best i can get. Any suggestions would help :) [/QUOTE]
