Regarding the power factor component of your question: A 150 grain projectile going as slow as 2,534fps makes power factor. Even if you're down at sea level, since you don't yet own this barrel, you could get it in a 7.5 twist and you'll be all set to run the heavies in 6.5 Creedmoor. If you'll exclusively be at higher altitude, they're plenty stable out of an 8 twist. It's not hard at all to hit that speed with a shorter barrel, either - I just made power factor with Berger 153.5's going 2,536 or so out of an 18" sporter barrel with a nothing-special magazine-length load... at the Colorado match at 6,000ft, but you get the idea. Anything longer than 18" will make power factor with the heavies. Some of the factory-loaded Berger is way hotter than others, and if you had a 20" or longer barrel that was completely broken in, I'll bet the factory 153.5 load would make power factor, too. For whatever reason, the last lot of factory Berger 156 EOL was almost 200fps slower than the 153.5 LRHT, so buyer beware if you need factory ammo.
I will say that the 18" barrel didn't balance for shit, I was balancing inches further aft than I wanted to, and that came up as a problem more than once.
Either steel or carbon will be fine, the example from earlier in this thread is a great example, and it was a 25".
Natural selection at work.The injustice here is the continued marketing for devices that provide literal headaches and permanent hearing loss.
That looks to be one of the Venturi series of spreaders made by RBR Enterprises, same company that makes the Vectors.Followed one of them spreaders the last 5 miles in to town tonight. Think it was a CaseIH maybe.
