Re barreling a 6.5x280ai 8 twist 30” Bartlein

You had type 180 vld, that would be black magic

Probably 3250+ is max with a 147

3250 is plenty fast for a 147.

Yup. 3200 was PLENTY fast in an A.I.

how long is long enough.I got a krieger now at 25" that's not really performing. Should I leave it at 30 or trim it back. It will be used for banging steal out to a mile

I have a 30" #6 contour + MB on my .270 AI and I hunt with it ... that's really up to you.

Probably 25'/inch in velocity. If its mostly steel anyway, I would go long. If you go 30" though, I would get a fairly heavy barrel. At least a light Palma....rich

+1, esp. if suppressor is in consideration.

The shot next to the dot was not one of the 10. It was my point of aim I dialed up and over to avoid messing up my point of aim

Do you know your velocity?

 

[JDD]

A little north of 3150
