[QUOTE="Juergen, post: 2172172, member: 118398"] [USER=116620]@Hard rock[/USER] : Yes, for legal reasons my min cal is 6.5 because below 6.5 no boars are allowed. I am thinking about buying a 700 mm = 27.5 inch barrel. I think I need less than 8" twist, for example 7.5". The question is: bigger caliber and more power to achieve more velocity or longer barrel. I tend to a longer barrel because I have less recoil. Perhaps that would be fine for me: 6.5 Creedmoor 27.5 inch = 700 mm barrel .75 inch = 19 mm barrel diameter 1 : 7.5" twist rate Do you think there is a measurable loss of accuracy between a 24" barrel and a 27.5" barrel ? I would like to have a accuracy of about 0.25 - 0.3 MOA at 300 yards. Do you think that is realistic ? [/QUOTE]
