[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2785020, member: 27307"] I bought a 20", .30 caliber barrel here, I think. It was sort of a chopped #6 Bartlein. Maybe a little heavy but that wasn't my concern. The 300 WSM was my first choice with the Badlands 195 gr. Super BD2. Re-16/17 all burned in that barrel and provided sufficient velocity for hunting (2790). Nicely moderated with a suppressor. Do NOT believe the 1:10" twist as suggested. Needs a 1:9". I like this so much I ordered 5 more barrels which I used other .30 caliber cartridges, all equally successful and as efficient, all burned all the powder including a .30-378 WBY with the 166 Hammer Hunter. The trick is to balance the powder with bullet weight/length to achieve efficiency. Even the .308 Win. works with that same 166 HH, just a tad slower about ~2600. Good 500 yard deer cartridge. Pick one. Go shoot! :) [/QUOTE]
