Re: Post your 28" Heavy barrel short action rifles!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: A.O.R.G.S-Hassey</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I wonder if a 30" MTU contour would be too much stress on a short action. Basically I am wanting to watch bullet impact at all ranges. Hence the lead injection on the A5 as well. With a 22 250, is the 30" barrel worth the extra velocity or does it start diminishing? </div></div>
Longest I went with the 22-250 Ack was 28 and the velocities were spectacular. One of only two rifles I've ever owned that went past 4k FPS. It also convinced me that I'd never reach 5000 FPS, ever.
I did have a 30 inch 6mmbr in a HV contour on a Stiller. Again, a fun rifle, but a bitch to find a case for and I gained very little over a 28 inch.
ETA: The other 4k+ fps rifle I had was also a 30 inch barrel. But it burned a lot more powder and was a 30 cal. Barrel life was nonexistent.
