[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 482626, member: 306"] I used a Broughton 5c 1/12 twist @ 24" long on my first 300wsm and next 300WSM used a Kreiger 5r 1/11.25 twist @ 26" long barrel. I always think it's a combination of getting the right barrel for the bullets then you get the accuracy next comes velocity. I wished I could tell the extra 2" give me this amt of velocity I didn't build them on which one would be the faster. I used alittle heavier contour on the one with the 24" barrel and lighter one on the 26" and both balance nice. I like to keep my rifle around 8.5 to 9lbs so I'll look more at what barrel give me than and I'll try and stay bewteen 24" to 26". Well good luck [/QUOTE]
