[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 669377, member: 48043"] I've seen barrels from 10-28" long perform well. What you feed it matters a lot more than the barrel length. Shorter barrels are easier to get shooting, but the bullet liking how it's pushed down the barrel is more important. Much like I can whoop on most people playing chess but don't care a bit about position numbers and barely care the piece names, I really do not care a bit about the harmonic resonance of the barrel as long as I can tune enough of a null as the bullet leaves for accuracy. The 300 win has got to almost be loosing velocity by 34". I had a pressure gauge on my last 7stw for a time, and at 26" the pressure was already down to 12,000 psi or so, and the 300 win is a bit less overbore. It should be closer to 10K psi at 26".
