[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1196380, member: 7999"] I am figuring 25 fps per inch of barrel lost. It could be more, probably not less. I still think I can get 3500 fps out of a 26" barrel and the 180 class bullet. So if I go 9" twist I can take the 181g Hammer Hunter Make it a bit longer and shorten the baring surface a bit and have a very slick 180g bullet that should run very far at that starting vel. This bullet too could render my rifle a single shot. I could always go to the 215g Hammer and be able to seat deep enough to continue to use the magazine. Steve [/QUOTE]
