AJ Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 As long as you can get. I prefer long barrels. Why not take the free velocity? Since its on an Encore, you don't have the long action to add to the length like a bolt gun. I would have a 26" barrel if it were mine.

AJ Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: 284 win The lower the twist the easier it is on the bullets. You always need a fast enough twist for the desired length bullet, but going faster is a waste. The Remington uses 1:9.125" twist and Winchester uses 1:10" twist. I would go with a 1:10" twist if it were mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
