    Thoughts on Barrel length for the 7mm-08 imp.

    Wondering if anyone is playing around with the 7mm-08 improved, and what barrel lengths are ideal. I just got in 3 26" barrels, and am wanting to cut them down, but not sure what is acceptable on the lower end... Dave

    Suppressors Blade Length Limitations in TX, AZ, NV, FL, CA?

    Amazingly California does not have any blade length restrictions (outside of schools, and a few other exceptions) for non-switchblade type knives. Are there any restrictions in TX, AZ, NV, and FL?

    Ogive Length

    I finally bought the Hornady device for measuring ogive length. I think I need a little education. If I understand correctly, the ogive length is the distance from the bolt face to the point that the bullet touches the lands. If so, should the ogive length be the same regardless of the bullet...

    6.5 Lapua scenar bullet length

    Loaded up some 123 grain scenars for my 6.5X47 when I first got it. Overall length was 2.736" and 2.164" to the ogive. Really liked that bullet in my rifle, so bought 300 more and began loading more up recently. Seated them to 2.163" at the ogive. Overall length of these was 2.720"...

    .300 win mag barrel length

    Its been pretty well established that the best all around length for a .308 precision bolt rifle is 20-22 inches. What about .300 win mag? Id like to add a suppressor to my 700 pss, but the factory barrel length would be cumbersome at best. What about 24 inches?

    Gunsmithing Measuring legal over all length?

    Regarding barrel length and overall length does a permanently attached flash hider, comp or standoff device count? If so what does the ATF consider a permanent means of attachement? Specifically this would be in regards to a 2 1/2" breaching device on a Remington 870. The last owner had the...

    I'm currently waiting for my gunsmith to get my Lilja barrel so it can be instaled on my action. Initially I told him to finish it to 27". A week or so later I called him and asked him to make it 24" when it came in. Since then I've been reading more here and learning and it seems lots of people...

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor barrel length?

    I would normally just get a 26" barrel and be done with it but I will probably run it suppressed a good amount so I am looking at making it a few inches shorter. Has anyone ran the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47L or .260 Remington at 22" or so and regretted it? Most shooting will be less than 600 yards...

    Which Barrel Length?

    I am building a new gas rifle and am wanting to do it in 260 remington. Which barrel length would be the best? I am looking at the 20 in. and the 24 in. from DPMS as the money situation prevents getting one from places like Satern, Shilen, etc at this time. Any suggestions appreciated.
