[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2567982, member: 67706"] The barrel is 22.75". I think my barrel is a little slower than my previous 300ss factoring in the length difference. I will chrono my load again today. After getting it back and zeroed it was shooting high for me at distance. I either was having some updrafts or speed is off. My original chrono data was 2730 fps with the 208 eld m and rl 23. With the 205 Berger I was 2825 fps with rl 26. All of your choices have pros and cons. If I was shooting a factory cartridge I like both the wsm and saum. I like the performance I get from the ss in a short package and having the bullets seated properly in the neck. I was originally going to do a 20" also but from talking with a couple Smith's the fps/inch lost under 22" was significantly more than lost from longer down to 22". [/QUOTE]
