[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 951332, member: 40654"] I shoot a model 70 with a 24" barrel, in 264wm.. on it's second barrel now. First one gave me +/- 1500 rounds of 1/2"-3/4" accuracy. That barrel shot 140 Berger Hunting vld's @ 3135 with the 1:9 factory twist... new barrel is an 8.5 twist with different rifling type, so no sense getting into detail with it.. None-the-less, both are/were 24" barrels (purposely shorter for backpack-use/sheep hunting) both barrels I used Retumbo exclusively.. i agree with another previous post regarding lower pressures/capacity and benefit of velocity out of Retumbo (or even possibly H1000 in certain cases) Your barrel "should" get you 3100 without a problem with Retumbo & 140gr bullets.
