[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 866926, member: 11717"] It's all about priorities. Personally, 26" is "my" minimum for long range rifles and have recently built 3 rifles using two 27" barrels and one 26" barrel plus brakes... all to be carry rifles. So is another 25-35 fps per inch worth swapping out barrels? 2600 fps sounds a little slow even for a 24" tube. My experience with RL17 is it got me another 200 fps in the 25-06 (26" barrel) and 300 WSM (24" barrel) and another 50-150 fps in the 7 RM (24" barrel) Varget would be another interesting choice and probably more stable than RL17 [/QUOTE]
