[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1399634, member: 98561"] Rich told me 3000 should be achievable with the 24" I guess i just want it to be achievable with ease, i suppose. Going off my limited experience with dad's 6.5 SAUM i'm not quite where i want to be velocity wise. You're right ultimately BC is king and 50-70fps here or there isn't going to make that much difference. My goal with the 6.5 SAUM with dad's rifle finished at 23" was 140s at 3050fps. I'm at 2934fps last i checked with 61gr of H1000 though i've recently switched to RL26 in hope of achieving a little more desired results. Supposedly it should speed up too. Was going on that basis that maybe i should stick to 26", that said you bring up some valid points Mike and that little bit of velocity difference isn't going to equate to all that much in the end. Thank you sir, sticking with 24". I'll be honest was really dreading those 2" i know people say it doesn't matter but just moving in and out of a truck, cabin, woods, confinement, you name it with cans immediately brings the OAL of the rifle to your attention. Hell that's the sole premise that TL3 is setup as a 18" 6.5x47 right now. Got tired of fighting my 32" suppressed 17lb comp gun hunting. [/QUOTE]
