[QUOTE="Troy, post: 68699, member: 106"] Dave a 34" barrel would certainly make a difference between a 26" factory barrel. My point was to ensure that no one reading this thread runs out and tries to get the velocity you are getting using an extra 10" of barrel. I have never shot factory ammo in any of my guns but if it is like most factory ammo the actual velocity listed vs factory listed velocity is about 50-100fps slower. I have seen this in several guns from different ammo manufacturers. The guns were .22-.250, .260, .300 Win, and .300 Ultra. The 300 Win was Winchester loaded rounds and the rest was Rem. Is this scientific proof, no way, just my limited findings. I do not think it is reasonable to expect 3500-3600 fps from a 140gr bullet using a 26" factory or custom barrel. I have loaded for 4 different 7STWs. Two have been custom jobs and the two others were factory. BE SAFE. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
