[QUOTE="Gene, post: 584297, member: 7402"] Stu, you cannot draw an explicit line and say "this length/width or more". A barrel is like a whip, and the less up and down movement on firing means better accuracy. So in general, shorter and heavier barrels flex less than longer, thinner barrels. Go to Krieger's web site and take a look at barrel profiles. I am shooting long range competition with their #17 HV barrels. I have them cut to 23" to reduce the flex. I would like to shoot 26" barrels for another 100 fps or so MV, but it is much more difficult to maximize the harmonics. I hope this answers your questions. [/QUOTE]
