[QUOTE="philny1, post: 157915, member: 7121"] Hey, thanks for the post. I have four Sakos, after reading your post out came the tape. The lapua that I been referring to as 24" is actually 22 7/8", measuring from the front of the receiver to the end of the barrel. The other Lapua is 24 3/8". I have a 30-378 that measures 24 3/8" and one that is 24 7/8". Also just taped the AM and what we been calling 30' is actually 29''. All measurements taken from the front of the receiver to the end of the barrel, is this the proper way to measure a barrel?? I would of thought the velocity loss to be somewhat greater. Mounted a scope on it yesterday, maybe get some rounds down it today. Going to try some RL-22 and 225gr AB in both rifles. Less than pleased with the performance of the 26" lapua. Was shooting it last Jan and had no problem getting moa. Since then had shoulder surjery and now I'm forced to use a lead sled to shoot the Lapua. Is it possible the lapua does not like that rest, perhaps not recoiling properly. Just a thought. Been shooting a 338 RUM off the sled with good results. Been meaning to drop you a line regarding the AM. Had to start from scratch, none of my old #s worked with the new throat. Then I ran out of 195s. TX Mike bailed me out with a very generous package of bullets. Got it shooting pretty fair, bout 2" at 300 yds. Will work on that. Phil [/QUOTE]
