[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1990259, member: 69478"] I have a straight .284 on a Remington 700 long action and it feeds fine. I would go with at least a 24” barrel. Be aware, the Bartlein 3B is a pretty stout contour. I have a Bartlein #3 and it’s about 1.5lbs heavier than the factory Remington Sporter barrel that I replaced. The 3B is even heavier than that. If you want a light heavy barrel, the 3B is good for you then. The #3 is a heavy sporter in my opinion. The Bartlein #2 is closer to the standard barrel on a Bergara or Remington. I would do a #3 fluted or #2 with or without flutes if you’re trying to keep it lighter. The difference in barrel length will be about 30fps per inch of barrel. Typical you can run 3000fps with a 140gr in a 26” barrel. So figure 2940 in a 24” and 2880 in a 22” barrel. Those aren’t exact figures, but you’ll be around those speeds with a 140gr in those barrel lengths. [/QUOTE]
