[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1328488, member: 27307"] In reality, a 1-inch difference in length isn't going to make a significant difference. The environment in which you hunt can make a difference. High desert or open fields, power line right-of-way, you can use any length you're comfortable with carrying. If you're not keen on carrying some additional weight or you hunt in deep woods, then a shorter barrel can be the right solution. I think the easiest method of arriving at freebore is to make a dummy round based on the available length of your magazine. Pick your bullet or bullets and seat them to magazine length minus 0.025" for clearance then measure the amount of bullet shank sticking out of the case but stopping at the base of the ogive. this will tell you the approximate length of the freebore. You can order a custom length or use one of the two most common ones. Regards. [/QUOTE]
