[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 992900, member: 48043"] You will see less loss with heavier bullets in a shorter barrel from what I've seen. My 7stw has a 10" twist 24" barrel and she'll do the 3,000 fps mark with 175's without issue, but tops a bit low with 140 grain bullets; Still in the 3200-3300 fps range though. If you look at most stw book data, it is in 24" bbl.'s. Speer even says in print they haven't seen much difference between 24" and 26" stw barrels. Powder choice is more important that those two inches of barrel. [/QUOTE]
