[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2417451, member: 116181"] Super or subs? Supers go as long as you want up to about 18" max for velocity gains, subs anything over 9" isn't getting you anything. 16"+ has the virtue of not needing a stamp or a pistol lower. Accuracy-wise twist is more important than barrel length. I don't see a reason for anything faster than a 7 twist, I can stabilize 220gn Sierras and 200gn Maker monos just fine with it. Supersonic hunting I'd go 16", good balance of speed and don't need any extra paperwork. All the new 5 twist and 3 twist specialty barrels seem to be for super short self-defense monos, there's no need for that kind of spin in with a typical hunting bullet. [/QUOTE]
