[QUOTE="Tex Hancock, post: 2677758, member: 117915"] Ok so I dropped off a doner 30-06 at my local gun smith to build a 7mm PRC. I am building a lighter elk/mule deer rifle, so we are going with a proof carbon fiber barrel 1-8 twist. I I want a shorter barrel but, I was wondering if any of y'all could help me on deciding a barrel length. I am leaning towards a 22" barrel, but could be talked into a 20" also. I hand load all my bullets and will most likely be loading 169 gr Hammer bullets. I really want 3000fps from the barrel. Does anyone know if 3000fps could be obtained out of a 20" barrel using the 169 HH? [/QUOTE]
