[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3289706, member: 15054"] Ok some more thinking. I have decided to do what has been done many times cut the barrel and watch for accuracy improvements. I will find a good 200 yard load then cut the now 22" barrel to 20" and shoot the same load and see what it does. Then cut to 18" and see what it does. then cut to 16.5" and see what happens to the same load at 200 yards. Not going to use a chronograph. That has been done many times and is old news. Accuracy is what i want more of. 150 gr flat base. I will use IMR 4064, cci 200 primers and Lapua cases. Start load will be 41.5 gr and work up in 1/2 gr steps [/QUOTE]
