[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2762173, member: 115190"] Don't increase length, go to a 8T barrel. I have a 7mag with a 8T 26" CF barrel by OMR(Oregon MTN Rifle) that loves 180 gr vld-h. I'd go 24 if I could do it again. But in no wind a 10" round plate at 1000 is very ez. Hold left edge and send it. I ran the numbers and with a 7mag the 180 vld-h didnt dift much more and was flatter. I recommend you get Applied Ballistics and run numbers, you can go to the Berger site and use their stability calculator as well. Brux, or any top teir barrel maker would be good. Criterion makes a barrel as well, I have a 6XC from them that shoots about half moa consistently as well(like the OMR). And I'd probably consider the new 7 prc. It has 7mag ballistics pretty much/ slightly better, in a new modern case. For just LR hunting, 7mag/prc is all that's needed. Imo. You don't need more then 1200#'s of energy at 1000 yards. Any more imo is just added recoil. [/QUOTE]
