[QUOTE="bweber, post: 58505, member: 3476"] Thanks to all who responded to my questions about my 270wby. Now that I'm thinking I'll keep the gun and have it rebarreled I have a question about barrel length. I know it needs to have at least a 26" barrel. But what about a 28"? Would I gain anything in the velocity department by going two inches longer? Or am I so close to the point of diminishing returns that the extra weight wouldn't be worth it? The gun will be primarily for hunting open country, so I'm not too worried about the longer barrel catching on things. And I'm a big enough guy that the extra weight doesn't bother me too much. But I would want to make sure that there would be a point in having the extra inches. Thanks, Ben [/QUOTE]
