[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1378038, member: 30902"] I'm putting together an STW for Mario right now that has a 28" barrel. It's going to be fun to see what we can do with it using the ultra slow burning powders like RL33. The advancements in powder tech that have come along in the last couple of decades combined with those in barrel steels and treatments are giving us opportunities today we could only dream about two or three decades back. I have to admit that I still have a hankering to try a 6.5x.375 Ruger at some point but if I do I have no illusions of getting a thousand or even 600rds through the tube before it's completely shot out. Practically I think the .264wm is the upper limit for anything practical but there will always be those who just can't help but try to push it faster and farther. After two years of shooting tons of .260 Rem at both critters and targets the round continues to impress me. Do I really need another 400+FPS? If I wanted to shoot beyond 1000yds it would certainly come in handy but as Frank's video shows it isn't necessary. [/QUOTE]
