If it were me I'd add at least 2" of additional barrel so you can take advantage of the slow burning powders but other than that I'd say you've got a pretty good plan going.

Thanks You think that 28 would be that significant??

Yep, it will allow you to achieve higher velocities at lower pressures with slower burning powders extending your barrel life considerably.

Sounds perfect to me. I just finished load development on my 300 Win. Use the 215 Berger. I went with a 26" BRUX and Holland brake on a Borden action. I am getting 3015 fps with the 215. Primers are not flat with just a slight ejector shine, under the perfect light. I was very impressed.

Sounds great!
I have a factory Remington that seems to shoot very well. Remington 700 XCR tactical 26"bbl.Had the 210vlds going around 2840fps which shot extremely well. Now I'm playing with the 215 hybrids and they seem to be the ticket for the win mag. Running them around 2960fps. Very pleased with these bullets.

When my barrel is shot out, a 28" barrel will be replacing it as any added velocity is nice. The 2" extra length will allow to burn up the slower burning powder behind those big bullets

What powders do you like with the 210 and215 vld's?/

Only tried H1000 in mine. Shoots so good I don't need to try anything else.
