[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1884608, member: 67552"] Just curious, you gave the velocity loss projections, but what made you decide on 20"? For what it's worth my sheep and steep terrain deer gun is either a .257Wby in a Mark V Ultra Lightweight or a Remington 700 TI Gen 1 in .260Rem. Both stock except for the trigger in the 260. The .257 had worn a Leupold VXIII 4.5-14x40LR Duplex but just got upgraded to a VX-5hd 3-15x44 FD Duplex with 1 year under it's belt. 110 grain Accubonds at 3440 from a 26" tube. The .260 has a 3.5-10x40 Leupold VXIII with the Boone and Crockett reticle running 125 grain Partitions at 2860 from a 22" barrel. [/QUOTE]
