[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1518528, member: 7999"] I went with a 22" barrel. My goal was not to get as much as possible out of this rifle but to build a light weight 700y big game rifle. I went with the 8" twist sendero light at 22" plus a small PK brake. The 8" twist will allow me to run up to our 177g Hammer Hunter, but my intent is to run the 143's at about 3150fps. If you go with the Sherman at 24" I would expect to see the 143's running pretty close to 3300fps. All parts are in and getting put together as we speak and I still go back and forth on the chambering. Other part of my decision is we already have the dies and own the reamer. Rich did offer me to use his reamer which just made it harder to decide. [/QUOTE]
