Cutting your 24 to 20 made it stiffer and sped up the harmonic resonance of your barrel.
But it will limit your max velocity.
Wow. At this point rebarreling the first one seems like the best option. After all the time spent at remington I'd almost demand they pay for the aftermarket barrel of my choice and installation by a competent gunsmith (obviously not one there ) you've sure had you're run of lemons outta big green. Sucks for you sorry you've had such a ****** few experiences with them. Or possibly it got damaged in transit. Either way it's on them (agin) maybe the third times the charm. Or just have Steve Baldwin lop a couple of inches off of this one and re crown it. I've been a fan of 26-28" barrels as I'm a velocity nut but I'm pushing a .284" 140 gn barnes at 3020 fps out of my 21" barreled 7mm-08 ackley I could get more velocity with a longer barrel but there's more than enough speed from this one to get out past 1k.

I'm honestly leaning to a 6.5I am also a fan of longer barrels, but mostly so I don't have to ass ram a pound of powder in one case to get the velocity I need. Although my .223ai is no slouch on the powder charge department. 75s over 3100fps from a 19" tube seems pretty quick to me.
Either way, I hope you figure out whatever it is you want to do.
Yea, I'll be on the phone with Big Green tomorrow or Tuesday, and I will see what can be worked out, I'd take it to Steve but I'm not paying to fix someone else's mistake, Remington is not my child haha.Wow.

They are a re large company, and more than capable of owning up to their mistakes.
