[QUOTE="megastink, post: 2958701, member: 33429"] I pulled the trigger on a Shaw 6x45 barrel. I've wanted that caliber for years and have a few spare Savage parts laying around, so why not? Its a 26" 1:8 twist varmint contour, which is about 6" more than I wanted. My smith can cut and crown it, but it got me wondering if I should just shoot it at 26" and see what happens. This was going to be a compact deer rifle, so the shorter barrel is preferable. I cant imagine carrying a 26" barrel in the PA woods. I'll likely be loading 90-95gr pills in it and I want to know what I would be gaining by keeping it at 26". Would love to get some opinions. [/QUOTE]
