[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 3973149, member: 40794"] I started thinking I wanted 16" for the mobility. Built went a different direction and I chose a happy medium of 18". I built another one in 16" and was amazed at how accurate it was at 300 yards on steel. 6" hangers I can go 10/10 with a run of the mil load I made up with a 175 grain BTHP. I ended swapping the 18" barrel for a 20" and made that original M5 a longer range rifle rifle. I'm pretty happy with the results and velocity for distances at 500 and out. If I had it to do all over again, I would have built just one and made it 16". I'm pretty sure with some time spent on a good handload, I can make that 16" ring steel at 550. [/QUOTE]
