[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 501918, member: 25383"] a 51mm case needs nothing longer than 25" with the right powders. But a 24" would be much better due to harmonics alone. A #7 contour at 24" ought to be nearly twice as stiff as a 28" barrel in the same contour. It's obvious that the action length won't take a longer case, and thus your stuck with that case. I'd be looking for something completely different than the .243; yet somewhere close to that length. A Dasher or a 6BR would be high on my list. Myself, I'd order in a 6BG reamer and build that one or else a 6BR gary [/QUOTE]
