PRS Talk What barrel profile are you using ?

I am running a 26 inch med palma in 6.5CM for prs/field/etc matches.
 
2014 - m40, 24", 6.5 Creed.
2015-2019, med-Palma, 26", Dasher.
2020, m40, 26", Dasher.

Rifles have been back heavy, so I'm back to trying a heavier barrel for better balance.
 
300PRC = 28" Heavy Varmint with Lil B' brake
308 = 24" Heavy Varmint no brake
 
29” 6x47 Heavy Varmint
28” 6.5 SAUM M24
27” 6 Comet M24
25” .308 Standard Varmint

As @generalzip said, key to maintaining decent recoil is weight, a good brake, and perhaps most importantly, not using overpressure loads. My 6x47 load drives 105s about the same speed as the Comet (3050), but felt recoil is noticeably less with the Lapua case even with more powder because it’s much lower pressure than the BR based case.
