Seems the go to is 10”. Any reason not to go with 8 or 9”?

6mm and 6.5mm cases of near volume both routinely get spec’d at 8”. With bullets evolving to be longer, seems to make sense to go 8, or 9” at the most?

Would be shooting mostly 100 grain bullets, but 120+ grain projectiles seem to be becoming more popular. Would not want to leave it short if I wanted to try them as well.

Anybody run a faster than typical 250 Savage? Shoot any 120+ grain bullets?
