[QUOTE="udiablo, post: 965016, member: 5748"] Like Thorgrim, I have another 7mmRM build in the works, currently. It's on a Rem700LA, barrel is a Krieger 5R MTU, to finish at 26" long, 1-9 twist. I shoot 168gr SMKs and Bergers, and 175gr Bergers. Have had others over the years (currently have 2 more), so have spent a lot of time with the 7mmRM. For a dedicated "hunting" rifle, you might consider a 24" barrel, but I just don't like giving up 200fps velocity for the sake of lopping 2" off the barrel. Regardless, a 1-9 twist should let you stabilize the heavier bullets, 168gr & 175gr. I rarely mess with lighter bullets. Would not consider going longer than a 27". [/QUOTE]
