best barrel length

Can anybody tell me the best barrel length for a 6-6.5x47 lapua
shooting 75g-108g.ranges from 100-600 yards.
 
I can't remember where i was reading about barrel length but some top bench rest shooters did some testing in an indoor 100yrd range on barrel length started at 30inch then would cut one half inch at a time down to 25 and 1/2 inch barrel and found the best length at that size.
I believe i saved it to disk and or printed it will have to look for it if i did will try to link it to the form, maybe some one else on the form rembembers it and has a link too.
 
28 inch is probably the best, much over that will be just extra weight.
I have a 30 inch on the way, and will shoot it at that, and see how it compares to the shorter ones......
