[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1913101, member: 93895"] I really think that those big Nosler cartridges, along with stw sized cases & bigger are optimal in a 26" or longer. You could probably get 3200 fps from the 26 Nosler with a 140 in a 22" with no problems. In a 24", you may be able to get close to 3200 with a 6.5 saum 24" with a 140 but I think it's going to be close to max. I am working on a 6.5 gap 4s myself but I haven't got it together yet. I was wanting to go 264 win mag but a short action is what I had to work with. Don't let me sway you on what you want but I think the creature habits of the 6.5 gap/saum 4s will be a lot easier to live with than the 26 Nosler as far as hand loading & load development. All that being said, if you want to be sure you get over 3200 fps with the 140 in a 22-24" then 26 Nosler will be the way to go. [/QUOTE]
