time for a new barrel

[C. Collins]

My f-open rifle needs a new barrel. I am going straight 284 what is the recommended length and contour?

This week I will hand my F-Open rifle over to my gunsmith to install a new barrel. The barrel will finish at 31" and is a straight 1.25" and will be chambered in .284 Shehane>>> 1-9 twist.

When I ordered a new brux 7mm they said the most popular barrel the make is a 32" 1.25" straight 1-9" twist. That's what I'd get.

+1 Most folks shoot this combination, including me in .284 Shehane. [br]
Don Nagel had one that he set back about eight times but finally quit when it was about 16-18" and scorching his front rest.

What is the most common way to neck brass

A mandrel. Lapua should be turned anyway because of the donut

And yet, the most popular length is 30" in the Classifieds - Don't know why.
