[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 21800, member: 319"] I think the limit of length depends largely on what type of rifle it's going to be (heavy pure bench rifle, a carry rifle, etc?). What do you have in mind? While I haven't gotten to play with my RUM yet, here are some figures to ponder: Saeed at the other board got a max of 2986 out of the 240 MK with a 26" RUM with numerous accurate loads over 2800. The Barnes manual lists 2775 with their 250 RN from a 24" tube. These are from the RUM case, not the improved version, mind you. I would think that even with a 26" barrel, you shouldn't have a problem finding an accurate load over 3000 with the Tomahawk. Of course I haven't tried it yet, so the above is just speculation on my part....
