Ready to order a conversion kit for my MRAD. will be shooting at a mile plus. In practical terms how much of a difference is ther in the 24" and the 26"? Researching through the site it looks like 40-50fps slower. I would prefer the 24" since I will be using a can, will I regret it? Thanks for the help
 
If your shooting lapua factory lapua ammo it was designed for 26.5 or 27" inches if I remember, for complete powder burn.
If you targeting a mile consistently, 30" so you can chop it down then you shoot it out.
You'll get there with a shorter one but why handicap yourself when you already know your distance.
