[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 727797, member: 2736"] That is correct if you don't want to give up any velocity. That is why I recomended the #4 @ 24'' for the 7mm Rem Mag for a "carry rifle" normally for accuracy and ease of loading I would recomend a #6 or heavier for any magnum. Light weight rifles are handy but they are not as forgiving as heaver barreled rifles, so I also try to reduce weight in non critical areas like Scopes, actions and stocks and use heavier contoured barrels. Unless you are going to shoot beyond 600 yards I would give some velocity for a short,forgiving barrel. This is just an opinion and others may disagree so build what you want and be happy with it. That's what Custom rifle building is all about. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
