[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1130008, member: 12193"] If weight and size is a consideration I would go 24". That's plenty for the 185 grain bullets, and it's the length that most rifle makers are putting on their WSMs. Going to a 26" barrel won't buy you much with the 185s, maybe 50 fps. If shooting the 215s a lot I'd go 26" since you'll see a bigger increase with the slower powders and heavy bullets. 10 twist is what you want. [/QUOTE]
