Freebore Question--Barrel length too

[dusterdave173]

OK so I am thinking about another 6BR barrel--I want to shoot Mostly 105-107 class bullets I have a lot of 107 MK and want this mainly as a long distance PD shooter to go with my 223's may want to try some 87 Vmax later but..
So Urban shows 104 free bore--Northern Supply James says .095 or so in their shelf barrels Is one a better choice than the other? Is 26 in length enough or would a 28 be better choice here?
I mainly want to try a Long PD shot this season --main reason I bought this rifle
Thanks!!

.009" difference in the length is insignificant. How far is LONG? I use a 26" barrel on my 600 yd 6BR rifle. If I was shooting out to 1K I would opt for 28" and go BRA.

Welp, I'm fairly sure my 26 is as fast as their 28. I am confident about other aspects of performance.

My 6br 8-Twist will get you to the 2880 node as per normal. Most other manufacturers need longer barrels to hit that node. I do know that. The Wilson barrels are very efficient.

6br 104 is pretty much ideal for the bullets you listed.
