[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 876528, member: 4965"] I just found a Bartlein 5R Barrel 1-10" twist, 30" finish length, 1.250"x5.00" taper to .900" for $401shipped and in stock. After a little digging they seem like they are on par with the rest of the barrel mfg. I like the contour. Weight is going to be around 8lbs. I am actually leaning towards a longer barrel because I am considering chambering the rifle in the 300 tomahawk (300 rum improved). I think the small amount of added powder will give a slight edge with the 210-230gr bullets I would like to use. It seems the 300 tomahawk requires little case prep and I can still fire 300rum ammo. Also seems the 30" length will help with powder burn. any helpful insight regarding Bartlein barrels or the 300 tomahawk? also regarding the twist, the research I have done indicates Nosler recommends 1-11" twist for the 210gr LRAB and Berger suggests 1-10" for the 230 hybrid. I think I would like to stick with the 1-10" twist for now. Just in case I need to shoot some of the factory 180gr rounds in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
