[QUOTE="Broz, post: 549858, member: 7503"] 28" with a JP brake. After all this is a Long Range build. I like brakes so I can spot my own hits while I practice. Since you have decided on the 300 Win (great choice) you might want to consider the 28" over the 26" for the added velocity and burn time. Especially with the heavier 210's. Plus with the introduction of the new Berger in 230 grain, I feel the added barrel length will help if you ever want to test these. We are testing them now and they are looking good with an extra added 120 ft lbs of energy at 1000 yards from a 300 win. The .711 BC is pretty inpressive too. The Sendero contour is alot like a #5 so your dcision is pretty much done there. I have never used a Brux so I can't say. But I feel any of these manufacturers can make a good barrel. Broughton, Hart, Brux, Lilja just to name a few. I will add that we have seen very good results a several Broughton barrels in 300 win. Especially with the 5C rifling that seems to get some of the best velocities. One other thing I will say, if you want it fluted have it done by the manufacturer before it gets it's final stress treatment and final hand lappng. Keep us posted on your build. I think yu are going to be very happy with your results. Jeff [/QUOTE]
