[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2139148, member: 83259"] I’m done with the long barrels. Had a few 28” and always went 26” on magnums. No more, 24” max and did 22” on my last two builds. The speed difference isn’t worth it to me. In the end it’s more then likely not going to make a bit of difference. Lose 50 FPS on a 300 WM for example and your gonna need 1 MOA more of elevation at 1000 yards, 1/4 moa more of drift in a 10mph wind and lose 39 yards off minimum expansion velocity with my load. None of those things are going to affect the end result of a hunt IMO. [/QUOTE]
