[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 802222, member: 5302"] A 26 to 28 inch barrel with 1:11 twist will handle all bullet weights from 150 to 200 grains very nicely at .308 Win. muzzle velocities. They've been doing that winning matches and setting records since 1963. All barrels are suseptable to harmonics. None's any different than another. But each ones harmonics (which are higher multiples of its resonant frequency) that are the same for every shot fired regardless of the load used. A 22 inch light weight sporter barrel can be just as stiff as a longer, thicker heavier one. How long or stiff the barrel is has little, if anything, to do with the accuracy it can produce. [/QUOTE]
